> But for the 's', no, English is just weird for things like that. Yeah. When you're using a count noun with a number as a compound adjective, it uses the singular form of the noun, even if the number-plus-noun as a compound noun would use the plural form. "Two characters", but "two-character sequence" (written, above, without the dash; I'm including the dash because I think it's clearer that way). Similarly, "three cars", but "a three-car garage"; "this keyboard has 94 keys" but "this is a 94-key keyboard". I have no idea why, except "history". /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
