In what part of the world is it typical to say "45 year engineer"? I'm an engineer in the western US, and would say "an engineer with 45 years of experience". I interact with lotsa international english; this one is new

I have definitely seen that before. In any case, despite the website being owned by an American, the language is not common American English:

> He is enjoying his sauna 4-6 times a week. Instead of watching the “idiot TV”, Malcolm has spent his evening watching his thermal meters in his hot room.

One would not use the present continuous tense in that context as much as in that sentence.

The words are the words. No one else can help the fact that you interpret words that weren't either written or implied.

A 10 year smoker may or may not also be a 10 year old smoker, but probably not.

A 6 month project may or may not also be a 6 month old project. Etc etc.
