@mawr I'm kinda curious about how the choice of hyphenation correlates with age. Are hyphens old-fashioned?
... old fashioned?
... oldfashioned?
@ElectricKeet @mawr I think compound words tend to start with a hyphen and then if they remain in common use lose it
see also all the old time newspapers going "to-day.."
@ElectricKeet @mawr
There are lots of unhyphenated '"non" words: "nonconsecutive", "nonrestrictive", "nontransferable", "nondestructive", "nonexistent", etc. Exactly which ones depends on your dictionary.
