Don't we have to hyphenate 'four' and 'year', Bev?

Why Torsten, is it not like 'three-year-old child' and 'five-day visit'? If not, please explain.

Many native speakers wouldn't hyphenate those examples either. Although it's a traditional, formal standard to use the hyphen, the alternative without the hyphen is generally accepted in modern English.

This is a new piece of information for me. Thanks a lot, Bev. However, I wonder why Torsten has ignored my request for clarification especially when I have raised my doubt with examples.

Possibly because I happened to see your request and answer it first!

That's right, I worked on a couple of blog posts yesterday so I'm very grateful we have Bev.

| Good evening Sir I have a question why it is showing the "record" and " edit" when I send some posts Instead of "answer" and "quote"? |

Your own posts should always display a 'record' and 'edit' button as well as an 'answer' and 'quote' button.
As you cannot record in someone else's posts, other people's posts will not have this function.
