For some reason, I can&#39;t reveal all of it, sorry, but I get your point. I think what the speaker wants to say might be it&#39;s 33 hours longhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/ForThreeElevenHoursDays/gmxmb/post.htm#564344Thu, 23 Apr 2009 20:35:09 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:564344Catherine811http://www.englishforums.com/English/ForThreeElevenHoursDays/gmxmb/post.htm#564344http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-564344.xmlSounds like &#39;three eleven-hour days&#39; to me...as in three x eleven hour days . What&#39;s the rest of the context??http://www.englishforums.com/English/ForThreeElevenHoursDays/gmxmb/post.htm#564341Sat, 23 May 2009 20:35:09 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:564341Liveinjapan2http://www.englishforums.com/English/ForThreeElevenHoursDays/gmxmb/post.htm#564341http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-564341.xmlThanks, Avangi. Your interpertation should be the correct one, although the swing shift doesn&#39;t fit into the context. I think the original sentence is ungrammatical and hard to get the meaning.http://www.englishforums.com/English/ForThreeElevenHoursDays/gmxmb/post.htm#564336Mon, 23 Mar 2009 21:35:09 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:564336Avangi3http://www.englishforums.com/English/ForThreeElevenHoursDays/gmxmb/post.htm#564336http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-564336.xmlfor the three eleven hours days Can it be interpreted as eleven - hour s a day x three days? Yes. In this case, if you take it as 311hours days, then it&#39;s too long in the context. These don&#39;t quite compute. Some people work a &quot;three-to-eleven shift,&quot; sometimes called &quot;swing-shift&quot; in factories. It resembles the &quot;nine-to-five&quot; expression for banker types. Some people typically work three or four eleven- or twelve-hour shifts per week. You could describe this as &quot;three eleven-hour days.&quot; (note that &quot;hour&quot; is singular) This would be a 33-hour week. Are you sure you have the details right?? - A.http://www.englishforums.com/English/ForThreeElevenHoursDays/gmxmb/post.htmSat, 23 May 2009 20:35:09 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:564333Liveinjapan4http://www.englishforums.com/English/ForThreeElevenHoursDays/gmxmb/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-564333.xmlfor the three eleven hours days Can it be interpreted as eleven hours a day x three days?
