| Quote: El Barbudo "Or saying "He's got 8 O levels", in which case we are into compound noun territory.'"
Adjetive and the noun it describes. No need for a hyphen (any more than you'd hyphenate 'he has five red balls'). Noun and adjective used together as an adjectival phrase, or compound adjective, requires a hyphen.
It's a very simple rule. |

Quote: " Hyphens
Use hyphens to avoid ambiguity, eg cross-section, not cross section, we are not discussing its temper.
When the same two vowels appear together it helps pronunciation if they are hyphenated, eg co-operate not cooperate, re-enter not reenter.
Compound adjectives (ie, when a noun is used with a modifier to form a single description) should be hyphenated, eg, two-tier workforce, part-time worker (but someone works part time).
Nouns formed from a verb and preposition also take hyphens, eg

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.
When you rescue a dog, you gain a heart for life.
Handle every situation like a dog. If you can't Eat it or Chew it. Pee on it and Walk Away.

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 |

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