| Quote Sadfish="Sadfish"Lol busted in 1'"
It's an accepted synonym, good god how thick are you...and your friends? I have just looked at the older cvs I was sent in the 90s and all of those cvs quote O Levels and A levels. NONE of them have hyphens. Some of them have board level positions, but I suppose they should add a hyphen just to please you? Hmmm |

Trust me, there's a lot more.
A quick "sorry" will do. |

You sure? I was always told that proper nouns should start with a capital. You are referring to God, an specific named entity. |

You hit the nail right on the head with "semi literate." |

| Quote tb="tb"Anyway - the definitive guide to hyphenation from the last style guide wot I wrote.
When the same two vowels appear together it helps pronunciation if they are hyphenated, eg co-operate not cooperate, re-enter not reenter.'"
This is why there so is much confusion. Individuals like you making judgements and the internet giving a platform for people to post anything as fact as we've seen where people including lazy journalists using it to get quick information about something when writing articles.
Words like Coordinate and Cooperate are correct. The language has evolved as people were unsure and thought a hyphen should go in. How does the OED spell them anyone?
As I said earlier the word today was hyphenated and my father in law still spells it like that to this day. Things do evolve, but the internet has a lot to answer for. |

Words like Coordinate and Cooperate are correct. '"
They are (though no need for the caps). And when you write a style guide and are dealing with multiple 'correct' options, the purpose of the guide is to choose one and stick with it consistently and coherently. It's a style, not a grammar, decision in that case.

OK tb, understood. Apologies for the rantish nature.
Yeah to-day was, you notice it more in old World War 1 posters. My father in law still writes it that way.
Here are a couple of examples one can find out there.

Probably being from poor London backgrounds meant that his and our school books were very old. I recall that my books still had words like medieval spelt mediæval. I still type it with the æ (ash) as a typographer. At worst I still write it with the ae in the middle. I'm thinking it's to show the drawn out E sound. We lost the ash thanks to typewriters.
