Take the example "one-second interval". Is there a dash between "one" and "second"? Also, should second be plural if I say "three-second/s interval"?

John Lawler's answer mentioning the eleven-year-old boy rule answers this. – Andrew Leach Mar 11 '14 at 14:48

BTW, maybe it should be called a hyphen, not a dash. – Stan Mar 11 '14 at 14:51
