Is this the same as until hell freezes over? D.D. 19:36 Apr 21, 2003 (UTC)

Yes, I'd say they are quite similar and parallel in meaning. Not that I think hell is hot, anyway. User:ILVI 2003 Apr 21

Capitalisation[edit]

Why is the singular form "a cold day in Hell", but the plural form "cold days in hell"??? (As an aside, should the title of an entry ever begin with an article?) — User:Smjg (talk) 22:43, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently the page was moved from cold day in hell and the person who moved it did not fix the plural. We don't usually start entries with articles but I don't know the exact rules: I think some full-sentence phrases do. I'm inclined to drop the "a" on this one.

Move to "cold day in Hell". One can find "cold days in Hell", and various determiners before "day in Hell". DCDuring TALK 04:37, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support, per logic above. Mglovesfun (talk) 00:00, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
