  • Abstract
    To hyphenate or not and one word or two are dilemmas often raised by common words in common usage. Examples are given. Generally, words that precede and modify a noun are either hyphenated or written as one word; combinations such as adjective-noun not immediately preceding a noun are written as two words. Some examples of print-media illiteracy are also given and explained.
