A Question Of Orthography
Sir, —While I sympathise with “L.G.P.” on the use of hyphens, may I protest that, even if you do “take a lead,” as he suggests, you cannot thereby “set a precedent.” A condition, or usage, or state of affairs only “becomes” a precedent when the next example of the condition, etc., arises or at least is mooted.— Yours, etc., ARPIE. September 30, 1964.
