Year old

[edit]

why the word "OLD"used before year like year old? Umaprasadbonthu (talk) 17:27, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Because the person is old by that number of years... Equinox 17:32, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Old means I think old age like grandfather or grand mother. Umaprasadbonthu (talk) 18:02, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Not always. A two-year-old baby is older than a one-year-old baby, but they are both young. Equinox 18:11, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Why the word (OLD) in a sentence like a two year "OLD" baby is used, we can write like a two year baby, in some situations we use word like "OLD MAN" what is different between old baby and old man Umaprasadbonthu (talk) 18:25, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

year old

[edit]

@‎J3133 Hey, could these diffs: [1] [2] [3] constitute a misspelling/alternative form? Thanks for your work! --Geographyinitiative (talk) 18:15, 19 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Geographyinitiative: The first one was quoted incorrectly (you missed the hyphen); the others are misspellings. J3133 (talk) 18:16, 19 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
I have added some to Citations:year old and I will be thinking about it. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 18:29, 19 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
