These expressions are normally hyphenated. Note that the hyphenation of an expression is subject to its context (see hyphen and MOS:HYPHEN). above-mentioned; all-inclusive; anti-inflammatory; award-winning; back-to-back; case-insensitive; case-sensitive; clear-headed; co-op (to distinguish from coop) cross-reference; day-to-day; de-emphasize ...
An example, in English, of boustrophedon as used in inscriptions in ancient Greece (Lines 2 and 4 read right-to-left.) Boustrophedon (/ ˌ b uː s t r ə ˈ f iː d ən / [1]) is a style of writing in which alternate lines of writing are reversed, with letters also written in reverse, mirror-style.
As an example, the back-and-forth method can be used to prove Cantor's isomorphism theorem, although this was not Georg Cantor's original proof. This theorem states that two unbounded countable dense linear orders are isomorphic. [1] Suppose that (A, ≤ A) and (B, ≤ B) are linearly ordered sets;
After back-and-forth amendments, a notice of allowance was approved on June 23, 2023, more than a month after her announcement in Nashville on the Eras Tour. The album came out on July 7, 2023 ...
In Kjoon's link "Golf ball–sized" is the recommended one-mark form, as the en-dash shows that a hyphen was dropped. But by using two hyphens, you're implying that golf modifies size rather than ball, which is just as wrong. Thus the conundrum. In any case, I see a single hyphen/dash much more frequently than two.
A hyphenation algorithm is a set of rules, especially one codified for implementation in a computer program, that decides at which points a word can be broken over two lines with a hyphen. For example, a hyphenation algorithm might decide that impeachment can be broken as impeach-ment or im-peachment but not impe-achment .
The meaning of palindrome in the context of genetics is slightly different, from the definition used for words and sentences. Since the DNA is formed by two paired strands of nucleotides , and the nucleotides always pair in the same way ( Adenine (A) with Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) with Guanine (G)), a (single-stranded) sequence of DNA is said ...
Back-formation is either the process of creating a new lexeme (less precisely, a new "word") by removing actual or supposed affixes, or a neologism formed by such a process. Back-formations are shortened words created from longer words, thus back-formations may be viewed as a sub-type of clipping .
