Breaking The Rules We Grew Up With
A Realtor recently asked me if it was acceptable to write, “Two-story house for sale.” I referred him to an excellent book on answers to grammatical questions like this. In his best-selling book, The Grammar Bible, Michael Strumpf refers to the same phrase: “Since there are two stories to this house, the description should read, ‘Two stories house for sale.’ There are two, so the noun story must be plural. Of course, ‘two-story house’ is colloquial. Through common usage, it has become an accepted and agreeable construction, but it is not correct (p. 114).” Strumpf goes on to say that a man who wants to sell houses needs to please his customers. If the ungrammatical phrase is more pleasing to the ear, then it makes sense to use that one.
