Since I really can't find a definitive source that says it's singular, I'll trust you because I guess it sounds more natural to say it in plural as it sounds natural to me in singular. So I'll use a custom pluralize filter. :) But I found this and I want to share them. Searching "minus one degree" on Google returns ~11.200 against ~420 when searching "minus one degrees". Searching "minus one apple", "minus one vote", "minus one cat"... does return more results than searching it in plural. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cardinal_number#Note_on_usage_of_cardinal_numbers "When functioning as adjectives, a cardinal number may only precede a (countable) noun, and the noun will be plural, except for one, 1 minus one, or -1:" > one" as the number. Incidentally, zero is also a "plural" modifier in > that sense, too ("...we are left with zero apples"). Yep zero is plural in Macedonian too, it seams it's singular in French as it says here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural -- Glisha The perfect OS, MS-DOS!
