Why dual core not dual cores? Isn't it plural?

No
Dual is an adjective

Words of the day: neoplasm and pleonasm

These two words are so special, side by side. That deserves at least five stars.

@CowperKettle Maybe you should talk to her about it soon.
@CowperKettle The stars in the picture look almost not real.
@ColleenV That is very true, thanks.

@CowperKettle Wow, I have never seen snow in my life, except in pictures and videos.

@Cardinal I think dual-core is a compound adjective. It's formed from an adjective and a noun and most commonly appears before a noun as part of a noun phrase: a dual-core processor
Anonymous
But two cores is a noun phrase: This processor has two cores.

Here comes the linguist @snailplane, lol.

So you put the plural marker on two cores but not dual-core.

I just watched the movie It (2017), about a bunch of bullied kids fighting a ghost that eats children.
It's one of the best horror movies I have seen, because the ghost is so unusual and the kids are so adorable.
And it's like over 2 hours long, a very long movie.

> And it may be not God but someone like His designee
Taking you to his face as his eyes aren't keen to see,
Like a dried dead bee, like a pebble naked -
His breath rich like liquor of well tested quality,
Like a thick old spirit of wonderful quality -
And extending a “happy belated”...
What’s belated?
All is belated.
.
> Scratching you at the corner and rolling you on his palm –
Curly hair of tea,
The forehead of milky balm,
Helpless clavicles stick out so open and so clear.
Move your eyes to look down – the clouds are quiet and calm,
Far beneath you they drift nonchalantly, swaying some.
Nothing happens to you
On from here.
.
> Well, so hi, here is God and I’m His commander at war,
I was picky when choosing to call you out the door,
And so took you with all your stuff
And possession,
Human mineral that’s all traversed by vein and pore,
Why, you look in a strangely astonished fashion,
Like you haven’t died
Ever before...
(the translation is not mine)
This is a poem by Vera Polozkova
@WillHunting I read the book twice
I liked the movie too
Long time no see, @snailplane!

I try to check in chat at least once a day. I stopped by this weekend too but I didn't say anything, since I was super busy. Oh my gosh, I got so little sleep . . .
