not OP but in Webster's Dictionary since 1980
Subject: not OP but in Webster's Dictionary since 1980

In Webster's Dictionary since 1980 (as I know it and have one here), they have been putting non and re together with whatever comes after it....


nonexistent and reexcision for example.....


et cetera........


and so there should be no hyphen medically either but YOU ARE SO RIGHT, depends on who you work for #1, Client profile #2....and all QA personnel because some mark you correct and some mark you incorrect when you don't use a hyphen or use a hyphen in these cases.

Typing "wretching" would have taken you to the correct word, "retching." Unfortunately, with all dictionaries, you need to know the basic word to look up the spelling.

Good luck!
