Day to day / state of the art
Do we hyphenate day to day (day-to-day) and state of thea rt (state-of-the-art) ?
Top answer
Hyphenate when they are attributive: a day-to-day existence, a state-of-the-art cellphone . Do not do so when they are predicative or nominative: We existed day to day. The state of the art is lagging behind its own technology.
