To hyphenate or not hyphenate mid, that is the question
Subject: To hyphenate or not hyphenate mid, that is the question
Ok I know the BOS says most mid use has been combined with the following word, thus no separation by space or hyphen, but sometimes it just doesn't look right. So, what do you think about

mid July --midJuly doesn't look right, so is it mid-July or mid July?
What do you think?

Subject: A thiink tank a month?
I re-read the original post and referenced ...time to time... not a reference to ...a think tank a month... I think the followup postings are giving greater credibility that George was not really George.
BTW, who on this board appointed me the spokesperson? I know I wasn't asked, nor did I volunteer. I think all this was done to continue the drama in another vein.
