UNCOORDINATED ... what a peculiar word. I always want to hyphenate it but know that I shouldn't...

[gigglewitch]

I mean writing or typing uncoordinated looks so odd [or is it just me?] It aggravates me - and I use it frequently as i have a son who IS "it" - and work with people with various disabilities, who are "it".
Sorry, ramble over. Any thoughts from you Great Pedants?

You can hyphenate it if you like - the sky won't fall in. Without hyphen is more common now, but hyphening isn't positively incorrect (using 'hyphening' as a verb almost certainly is positively incorrect, however).

My Most Hated omitted hyphen is the one omitted from the word 'coworkers', chiefly by Americans.

Sounds like someone who orks cows. Which makes me think of someone norking cows. Which I suppose means flashing their tits at cows.

LOL Hassled. Americans will ellide anything (just look at their sandwiches).

Are you actually at Heathrow right now? Have you been there for some time?

Not at Heathrow thank god. I changed to this name to make a joke on the 'what cock-ups at work have you made' thread.

Gotcha. Had visions of a BA staffer hiding under a desk.

I had an article to type up yesterday, one of those where an 80-year-old woman with victorian writing scribbled down on the back of a fag box.. she had listed all the acts at a charity concert.

Among them was a 'yoedlr'. It took me about 20 minutes and a dictionary to discover she meant a yodeller!

lol @ cow norking how about cow working? Meaning that one works with cows? oops, shouldn't have said that.
Thank you policywonk, as i really do have Chicken Licken Tendencies I am pleased to hear that the sky won't fall in if I give in to my hyphenating compulsion

...or should that be Turkey-Lurkey?

now, should it...?

like it.
