Un-surfaced or Unsurfaced?

[Guest guest]

Oops. I found it under " unsurfaced " , no hyphen.

I vote for unsurfaced! And my vote's gotta count for 2. Just because.

Hola Herbalistas!

 

I'm cleaning up some text and have come accross a term that describes a

type of fever that arises from damp heat called " unsurfaced heat effusion "

(or as we're calling it in this book, " usurfaced fever " .)

 

My question is this: is it " un-surfaced " or is it " unsurfaced " . The author

who's book I'm editing has written it as " un-surfaced " , but I would prefer

to see " unsurfaced " . I checked with the Wiseman/Ye PDCM. They too use the

term " un-surfaced " but this one particular mention on page 279 of the 2nd

edition appears at the end of a line where it was hypenated to fit the large

word on to two lines, so I still don't know if Wiseman hyphenates it or not.

 

Does anybody have non-hypenated references to this term?

 

Thanks.

Wiseman doesn't use a hyphen, but the answer to a question like this

is to be found in a manual of style, such as the Chicago Manual of

Style or Words into Type.

Me, personally, I prefer un-surfaced. But then I use Australian English

and still hold tight to Ae and Oe spellings, too. (Although I've

noticed an unnatural amount of 'z' sneaking into words where they

really shouldnt be.)
