Is this sentences correct:
a) "It's difficult to predict what will happen IN THE LONG TERM."
Note: By 'long term', I mean far in the future (such as in one of two millenia).
Top answer
Christine Christie Note: By 'long term', I mean far in the future (such as in one of two millenia). That's OK, but "in the long term" need not refer to such distant times. It can refer to shorter times like years or decades.
