Thanks MM.

I want to learn to use 'untold time' in a sentence. I have heard many native speakers using it. Is the following sentence correct?

3. She will be gone for untold time.

Sorry, but I have heard NO native speakers say that, and I have lived among them most of my life. I cannot help you, beyond telling you that #3 sounds weird.
