Cryptocurrency is a decades-old term as well (Bitcoin dates from 2009).

  Decade-old then, not decades-old

  So, one decade old, not plural decade old ?

    1.1 > 1, so 1.1 decades old. That is how plurals work in most languages.
    • Harvesterify 7y ago
      Yeah sure.

        French for example is an exception in that fractional numbers are only pluralized over 2. Note that in English "5 years old" would become "0.5 decades", using the plural form as well.

          Your comment is about 0.000005 decades older than mine.

          “Half a decade” is how I’d pronounce that.

  > Cryptocurrency is a decades-old term as well (Bitcoin dates from 2009). Indeed, but decades (1983 or 1995-1998) older (except for the decentralization): https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ecash&oldid=948375226 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ecash&oldid=94837...
