Another short one this week:
The phrase “Until not a long time ago…” is less idiomatic than “until not long ago…”
“Until not long ago, I cheered for Ptuj.”
It’s obvious that “long ago” has to do with time, so you can chop “time.”
Similarly, phrases like “a year of days” are redundant. A year is a year is a year. You don’t have to subdivide the time.
(That said, if you are emphasizing the waiting, it can work – e.g. “I’ve been waiting a week of days for you!”)
