Grammar
A half a day's pay
I came across this sentence "so it's gonna eat up a half a day's pay" when I watched an American TV Show. And I am a bit confused about this structure "a half a day's pay". We usually say "half an hour" or "a half hour", but we don't say "a half an hour". So is "a half a day's pay" correct? Should it be" a half day's pay" or "half a day's pay"?
