Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I vote for unsurfaced! And my vote's gotta count for 2. Just because. ann Hola Herbalistas! I'm cleaning up some text and have come accross a term that describes a type of fever that arises from damp heat called " unsurfaced heat effusion " (or as we're calling it in this book, " usurfaced fever " .) My question is this: is it " un-surfaced " or is it " unsurfaced " . The author who's book I'm editing has written it as " un-surfaced " , but I would prefer to see " unsurfaced " . I checked with the Wiseman/Ye PDCM. They too use the term " un-surfaced " but this one particular mention on page 279 of the 2nd edition appears at the end of a line where it was hypenated to fit the large word on to two lines, so I still don't know if Wiseman hyphenates it or not. Does anybody have non-hypenated references to this term? Thanks. -- ---------- Version: 7.1.392 / Virus Database: 268.5.6/338 - Release 5/12/06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiseman doesn't use a hyphen, but the answer to a question like this is to be found in a manual of style, such as the Chicago Manual of Style or Words into Type.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Me, personally, I prefer un-surfaced. But then I use Australian English and still hold tight to Ae and Oe spellings, too. (Although I've noticed an unnatural amount of 'z' sneaking into words where they really shouldnt be.)
