I have found it both ways, can someone please clarify it for me.  Is it non-allergic or nonallergic?   Same with nonproductive or non-productive?
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 portion "occlusion of shunt in its mid portion."


mid July --midJuly doesn't look right, so is it mid-July or mid July?


What do you think?
