Ironic that there’s a grammatical error in the headline… 6th-grade levels, surely
77% of Americans write below 9th grade-levels, and hyphens are taught as an elective.
NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND!!!
The tables, they turn
The great journalism of “Homeless Romantic” has really been in decline.
This is all just a simulation.
That’s what the lizard people want you to think!
If it were a simulation or real what would be the difference? I mean if you could replicate the titanic down to the atom you effectively have the original. Same philosophical “problem” with teleportation of a human being.
The hyphen goes between grade and levels. Confidently incorrect.
How is the feet pics thing working out for you?
Quite a few pictures. Most of them troll pictures.
You hyphenate the words acting as an adjective, I e. Two-gun kid, not two gun-kid
One might also hyphenate compound nouns. Depending on context, “two gun-kids” could be correct–though it seems unlikely.
Also, in this case you should use e.g. (not i.e.). No big deal though, I knew what you meant.
