Editor: "Your spell check might tell you not to use words like underintelligent, overlove, undermarket, overroof, underfoundation, and oversunny, but spell check is often wrong in instances like these. These are perfectly good coinages that do not require hyphens. "Even so, because many people believe spell check is infallible, such words do commonly appear with the hyphens. The hyphens are not wrong, but they are unnecessary. "[T]he over- and under- prefixes can be attached sans hyphen to almost any adjective or verb." http://grammarist.com/spelling/over-under/ |
