Grammar question

[Romper]

When using a reference to a period of time would you say six month or six months?

A) Then Ehrlich shifts to the topic of a six months long winter

or

B) Then Ehrlich shifts to the topic of a six month long winter

I know it's silly coming here, but I can't figure out which one works best. When saying a loud the sentence with six month sounds more flowing, but as well all know speaking never is the same as writing.

 

[Jojojo]

Would you say seven course meal or seven courses meal?

I agree with you, it doesn't seem correct, but the alternative just sounds silly.

Yeah I know that's what I was thinking it doesn't seem correct and the alternative is silly in talking and writing, but the vast difference in how I speak and how I talk had me questioning what to do.

 

[Alyada]

BEER BATTERED CHICKEN STRIPS.

That's what I would say.

 

[Ravic]

It would be "six month" since in this case "month" is used as an adjective to describe "winter."

There's probly a word for using a noun as an adjective, but looking for it would require more effort than I'm willing to dedicate to this project.

Meh I figure I would get a C on the paper either way because it's only the second paper I have had to write for this class. Thanks for the in depth answer though now I know when using month as an adjective to use month all the time.

To Aly: Yeah if I wouldn't have been over the 500 word "limit" I would have you beer battered chicken strips are mighty tasty to get the last few words. Maybe even a screw flanders just for emphasis. I wanted to just fill the paper with Wyoming sucks so many times because that is what the essay was on was life in Wyoming.

 

[Makelith]

The answer is A.

 

[Romper]

The answer is A.

Eh if it is A oh well. The essay went in a circle and was highly unorganized so I bull shitted a lot of what I said and just paraphrased the essay.

It's example A.

In the context you are using it's example A that is correct.

I already emailed it to him so eh. I already got an extension because I didn't have the stuff for the paper because of RL issues in the family. It was at least a C paper by the english departments standards so I'm happy.
