18 years-old-me?
Hi everyone. I start saying that English is not my native language, so: I've just read that a girl's written "18 years-old-me". Isn't it incorrect? Shouldn't it be "18 YEAR-old-me", like "a 18-year-old"? Thank you.

It should be "year" not "years", as you say. As far as the hyphenation is concerned, the norm would be "18-year-old me". I suppose "18-year-old-me" may be possible in some circumstances.
