Of course these are not sentences, so correctness may be moot. Only two days more is more emphatic than Only two more days . Only two more days to go is more emphatic than Only two days more to go .

  • Of course these are not sentences, so correctness may be moot.
  • Only two days more is more emphatic than Only two more days .
  • Only two more days to go is more emphatic than Only two days more to go .
  • I wouldn't call the difference hugely significant.
  • I'd say "more" modifies "two," and is therefore an adverb; but I see room for argument.
