Decision making hyphenated

  • Is there hyphen in decision-making?

    In Merriam-Webster, our dictionary of choice, the hyphenated compound noun “decision-making” appears as such, so it's always hyphenated..

  • Most often, you will hyphenate between two or more adjectives when they come before a noun and act as a single idea.
    This is the most common use of the hyphen.
    Examples: friendly-looking man. (Hyphenate: compound adjective in front of a noun)

Is decision making one word or two?

Once again, I have run into a law review that has adopted the convention of using decisionmaking as a one word unhyphenated noun and adjective.
I hate to be pedantic about this, but the Chicago Manual of Style still says that decision making is an unhyphenated two word compound noun and a hyphenated two word compound adjective:

  1. FWIW
  2. Word's and Safari's spell checkers agree with me and the Chicago Manual
