Subject: not to be rude but Stedman's has been....sm

Not to be rude - it IS coffee grounds that one can vomit and when used as a noun, but when it's used as an adjective, it is coffee-ground emesis....I suppose it could be an either-or so I'm not giving anyone an argument. Just have seen Stedman's be wrong on many occasions and I don't use Stedmans as a result.

To each his/her own....

additional info:

coffee-ground emesis is old blood in the vomitus, coffee-ground vomitus.

Stedman's Orthopaedic & Rehab Words, third edition, it is LeFort WITHOUT a space. Also, Claudia Tessier's "The Surgical Word Book", second edition, has it WITHOUT a space. And finally, Vera Pyle's "Current Medical Terminology" eighth edition has it WITHOUT a space.

Which Stedman's has it WITH a space? I'm interested, not arguing. Perhaps either way is correct/acceptable.
