Grammar
Copy that is wrinkle free. Or, copy that is wrinkle-free.
I'm a bit stuck here. I generally use hyphenated adjectives only to clarify their relationships to modified words (e.g. That is a wrinkle-free shirt).
However, in this sentence, "The shirt is wrinkle free," I would not generally use the hyphen, since the context is the same as if it were, "The shirt is free of wrinkles." There's nothing to clarify, is there?
