Grammar
"have" or "has"???
The sentence is Nine years of experience "has" equiped me.
Someone told me this was incorrect and that I should use "have." My understanding is that plural nouns of amount, distance and so forth, when used as singular units of measurement, take singular verbs.
Please help:) Thanks

I have the same question. If viewed as separate individual entities, years of experience have equipped. But if viewed as a single collective entity, years of experience has equipped.
