Subject: Gait is normal "bitandem"? sm
My neuro, who is about 100 years old, used the word "bitandem" on the gait assessment of his patient. Anyone hear of this? "Bytandem"? "Bi-tandem"? I cannot find it. Thanks for any help.

I am drawing brain farts with hyphens lately. Just looked at Dr. Grammar. Still no help. I know that before a noun, two or more adjectives are hyphenated, as in broad-based gait. But what about gait is broad-based. ? Are there new rules on hyphenation? Do we always hyphenate heel-to-shin and the like?
