Re: Can anyone help me with hyphenation? Please?

Thank you Celeste. Now I can submit my article. The AP Style Guide people should pay you commission. I'm ordering it this afternoon! Do you recommend the book or online version?

Can anyone help me with hyphenation? Please?

Hyphens give me a headache. I have been reading hyphenation rules, various websites, and the dictionary for a couple hours and am more confused than I was to start with. The problem is "business class." Is is ever hyphenated, never hyphenated, or sometimes hyphenated. My gut tells me that ...

Re: Question about my "getting started"plan

I joined CC recently and just had my first article approved. I'm so excited! I was 95% certain it would be rejected because I used that dreadful word, affect, several times and I never know whether to start it with an a or an e. I literally looked up the rules each time I used it and again when I pr...
