For a long time, ASR was typing African-American. Now, it's typing African American without the hyphen. Does anyone know which way is correct?
Thank you so much in advance. I hope you're having a great transcription day and getting at least some easy docs. I can't believe resident changeover is just a few months away. Oh, how I dread that....

African-American hyphenated?
Subject: African-American hyphenated?
I was always taught African-American was hyphenated, and that's the way it came up on the ASR for the longest time. Now, it comes up without the hypen. Thoughts? We don't hyphenate Caucansian-male.
One thought - if the Indians are using our ASR, they should have to submit corrections before they are changed.

My guess is that people were probably doing it both ways, and so to just make it easier, they picked the one that was easier to read.
