The spelling of the word mean

I came across «means» in my studies. Here is excerpt out of my business course book.

For a fax the same rules apply as for a business letter,
«only the means of communication is different»
.

means @ Cambridge Dict.

«means» is singular here but a plural noun used with «is different»

Question 1: Do we see «means» always in singular in such context or others ?

Question 2: Would be «only the meanings of communication are different» similar to the use of «the means of communication» ?

Question 3: Can we use «only the mean of communication is different»? Singular

Cambridge Dict. says here:
Even though it ends in an ‘s’, means is a singular noun. We use a singular verb with it. We use it to talk about a method of doing something:

The most economical means of travelling to Aberdeen is by plane. (the most economical method or way)

Not: … most economical mean … or … most economical means are …

When we write a text without spelling mistakes and with coherence, it is a source of pride. Good spelling is a basic necessity that brings us benefits. We should not overlook; when we write correctly, we leave good and pleasant sensations in our audience. But to achieve this type of writing requires previous and continuous preparation. It is a task that never ends because our language is very rich in words. Today, we will look at the words «ment» and «meant.» Do you know which is the correct spelling?

We have to say that «meant,» and «ment» are not synonyms. «Meant» is the past tense of «mean.» On the other hand, «ment» is a suffix that people put at the end of a word to convert it from a verb to a noun. Additionally, «ment» is an obsolete past tense of «mean.» 

We all know that spelling mistakes are frowned upon and project a negative image of poor preparation and lack of attention to detail on the writer’s part. But in addition to spelling mistakes, we can also have slipups related to the incorrect use of words. If we want to express an idea and we use the wrong words, we will not make a good impression. Stay with us to clear all your doubts about the correct use of the words «meant» and «ment.»

WHAT DOES SPELLING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

spelling

Spelling

Spelling is writing or stating the letters and diacritics of a word. Words generally have accepted standard spellings which can vary regionally or nationally. In the sense of a standard, spelling is one of the elements of orthography and a prescriptive element of alphabetic languages. Spellings attempt to transcribe the sounds of the language into alphabetic letters, but phonetic spellings are exceptions in many languages for various reasons. Pronunciation changes over time in all languages, and spelling reforms are irregular in most languages and rare in some. In addition, words from other languages may be adopted without being adapted to the spelling system, non-standard spellings are often adopted after extensive common usage, and different meanings of a word or homophones may be deliberately spelled in different ways to differentiate them visually. The emergence of an accepted standard spelling is a natural phenomenon. Standardized spelling establishes whenever a writing system develops in order to exhibit less variation and streamline written communication.


Definition of spelling in the English dictionary

The first definition of spelling in the dictionary is the act or process of writing words by using the letters conventionally accepted for their formation; orthography. Other definition of spelling is the art or study of orthography. Spelling is also the actual way in which a word is spelt.
