5-Time Champion?
I asked this some weeks ago, but the verification system was down, and could not find my question. Is the BBC correct in suddenly choosing to describe a sportsperson in this American-style fashion, or are they merely trying to look cool (and failing miserably)?
I have complained to the BBC many times, but they fob me off with pathetic excuses.
Kind regards,
Matty.

American or British English, five-time champion is perfectly fine with me. Do you see a problem?

Hi,
Yes, five-time champion is no doubt correct.
These are also correct: a two-hour walk, a sixteen-year-old student, a six-man team,
a four-minute break, a three-word sentence, etc.
Regards
