I think at this point MS Word automatically recommends a hyphen after any number + quantifier combo. One time it wanted me to correct “three armed guards” to “three-armed guards” which would have changed the meaning considerably.
The number of times MS autocorrect suggests incorrect changes to grammar is laughably high, and most people just blindly follow the suggestions.
I fucking hate autocorrect. I mean to say “its” a lot more often than I mean to say “it’s”, but Gboard on my phone tries to change it to the latter almost every time.
I say “almost” because it did it the first time in the above sentence, but not the second time, so it managed to make the wrong guess for both of them. Goddamn useless trash – Markov can suck it!

Three-armed guards would probably be in very high demand, depending how functional the extra arm was
