In the Spanish-English grammar forum, there is an interesting discussion going on about units of measurements when the quantity of what is being measured is between 0 and 1, exclusive; for example, 0.5 foot/feet. How do you write this?
The distance between points A and B is 0.5 foot.
The distance between points A and B is 0.5 feet.
To be clear, this is not about adjectival usage such as a 0.5-foot-tall elf. I apologize if this has been discussed previously in this forum; I couldn't find any prior threads.
