The things I know :- hyphenated combination is not made plural.But is the same thing valid without hyphen?
e.g. :-Fifty-Dollar note.
So which out of the following is/are correct?
A:- Five-star hotel.
B:- Five star hotel.
C:- Five stars hotel.
If C is wrong then Fifty feet high building should also be wrong in my opinion as we have not made star plural so why should we make foot plural.
P.S.:-Single Adjective made up of two words will take both the words in singular form.Therefore "Fifty foot" being a single adjective should be used with singular form of foot that is foot.
Please explain a bit.
