In Nouns^x, Hyphenation^x

Thank you. So, I think you are saying the length is the determining factor, not whether is a clause or non-clause. Right? I think Clive said something like if the content is more than 2 or 3 words (I don't know exactly that means in practical term), put it in quotes. Then, I faintly remember...

Hi, I have difficulty in knowing whether hyphenation is need for adjectives that come after a verb. I think Mr. M or a guru said something to the effect that mostly those that are hyphenated before a noun is not hyphenated when placed after a verb. Let us look at the words 'color...

Hi, Thank you so much. You asked/said: I think certain words like "am" or "so" are not hyphenated when used as part of a hyphenated noun or a hyphenated adjective. Why is that? I'm not sure what you mean. Can you give some sentences that include the kind...

. You may want someone else to respond for a change, but let me say that my prime concern when considering hyphenation is whether the hyphen is needed to make sense of the relationship of the two nouns between themselves and within the context of the greater noun phrase.

Hi, Please tell me if you would use hyphens for these. 1) ... submitted a featured-speaker nomination. -- I would use a hyphen since I feel both 'featured' and 'speaker' do not describe the main noun 'nomination' 2) ... submitting the updated treasury/president's...

Thank you, GG. Your answer does answer my question but it has engendered another question. I have blue-and-yellow furniture in my room. -- Does it really mean I have some pieces of furniture with each piece in blue and yellow, regardless of how many pieces I have? Does hyphenation create that...

Hi, When we hyphenate the adjectives, the usual reasoning given is that it is done to prevent people from thinking the adjectives modify the noun individually when the adjectives hyphenated should be considered as one word. Fine, but how a person can get confused when taken individually, a...
