Generally, na

There was nothing less suitable about what I said. If you want to add something, why can't you just add it, without the need to try to elevate your remarks over someone else's.
Odysseus said pretty much what you did in his post, but managed to so nicely.
[nq:1]"Sub" is what's called a "productive" affix. It can be prefixed to all sorts of nouns and adjectives to create new nouns. No hyphen
