I think Spike was actually being advanced, writing in a future dialect of English. Languages logically streamline themselves over time. We don't use "of" with "few", for ex. (in the sense of: "a few of days"), so to make the usage of "couple" line up with the usage of "few", we're moving towards "a couple days". Spike is just getting there ahead of most of us.

I have seen the future, but I am going to wait until tomorrow to write about it.  I am nearly falling asleep at the keyboard.
