Tina writes:Should this be one or two words or call-out with a dash?The phrasal verb 'to call out' is so spelled.
The corresponding nounis callout or (rather oldfashioned) call-out. The past participle ofthe verb is 'called out' in predicate, but 'called-out' when it standsbefore what it modifies.The modern tendency is for nouns made from phrasal verbs to be spelledsolid: printout, workout, standby, leanto, fuckup. But those formedwith in & on still keep the hyphen (sit-in, put-on), and many peoplestill hyphenate many of the others. It will be a long time beforeusage in general settles down. For established terms you can consulta dictionary - but Webster's 10th hasn't caught up with 'callout'.- Joe Fineman : The dirt in the cracks is where life goes on.: John Holmes19.08.99 00:00.
