Our prompt word of the day today is “hyphenated.” Thanks today go to Sally for the great prompt!
As an editor, I spend most of my days fixing hyphens or looking up hyphens … did you know hyphenated words (and non-hyphenated words) are in the dictionary? If you’re ever not sure, have a look.
A lot of the time it depends how you’re using the words. You and someone else can walk side by side beside side-by-side windows, for instance.
Ah, I love the English language.
Much easier than trying to figure out French.
No matter how much they told me to allons-y at school.
