hyphens
Subject: hyphens
And, when I first started out so many years ago our motto was "when in doubt hyphenate" and it was so long ago it had to be incorrect.

My QA only allows 3- to 4-mm effusion. So I don't know what to tell her.

Subject: Hyphens
I am a QA specialist and I am starting to see a trend away from hyphenating African-American male/female, etc. Does anyone know if there is a new official rule for this that can be referenced? Just what we need, another change.
Hyphens
Subject: Hyphens
We were told not to use hyphens with African-American, Latin-American, etc. any longer.

African-American, 32-year-old, bright-red-blood, any hard and fast rules on these?
Hyphens
Subject: Hyphens
Thanks:)

Subject: hyphens
It's a simple rule of English concerning compound adjectives. From The New St. Martin's Handbook (of English usage), "Often you will use adjectives made up of word combinations that are not listed in the dictationary. The guiding principle then is to hyphenate most compound adjectives that precede a noun but not those that follow a noun." Thus "5-French catheter" but "upsized to 5 French."

"Non-ill" is not a word. No hyphens necessary here. Change to: Not ill appearing.

post-arthroscopic surgery or post-arthroscopic-surgery? TIA?

Subject: hyphens
The patient is 12 days post-arthroscopic surgery or the patient is 12 days post-arthroscopic-surgery. Thanks again!
hyphens
Subject: hyphens
Thanks, but I thought "post" in the medical realm is a prefix and should be attached with a hyphen I guess.
