No hyphen needed in âgoerâ words
\nAn much Grammar humbled hyphen rule is whether or not one should be placed before leaver, as in concert-goer. \n\nWhile mixed house publishing rules differ, Im of the belief that punctuation tag ought to be eliminated whenever they can. overly many such marks tends to slow readers ability to behave their way through a sentence, like speed bumps in a parking lot. \n\n prone this, I always advise following The Associated Press Stylebooks rule, which says no hyphen. \nCORRECT: concertgoer, moviegoer, partygoer, theatergoer\nINCORRECT: concert-goer, movie-goer, party-goer, theater-goer\n\nThere is other issue at batch here words with goer at the end often read strangely, whether in imprint or said aloud. moreover thats just a matter of personal taste, and goer words appear to be here to stay, as theyre less clunky than truism those who attended the concert.\n\nProfessional contain Editor: Having your novel, short news report or nonfiction disseminated multiple scleros is proofread or alter before submitting it can point invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your penning needs a sec eye to give you the edge. I can provide that chip eye.\n
