Hi folks,
Although mailorder is usually two words possibly connected by a
hyphen, it can appear as just one. Something I read somewhere said the
newest Oxford English Dictionary eliminates most hyphens, so
presumably mailorder may become more common in time. Anyway there's
one instance in my particular web-braille collection:
l>ge mailord} busi;s1 t ! ,*ri/mas
I don't have any examples of bachelordom but I'm confident lord should
not appear there.
Well I just found another one: dichlordiphenylethylene. Truly a
household word! From web-braille:
,7,,dde equals di*lordiph5yle?yl5e47'
Lord should also not be used in lordosis:
"l "lly """ lordosis
e/+4 ,mild lumb> lordosis1 b{$ legs1
Presumably the same holds for lordotic though again I have no
examples.
Interesting stuff, eh?
