Fully-Fledged Vs. Full-Fledged

0Perhaps an easy question, but I can't figure out whether to use "full-fledged" or "fully-fledged" in the sentence below:02br
00" 02br
02br
00·00 00Creating and managing automated and full-fledged conference websites02br
00 "02br
00 That is from a bullet list, which is why it doesn't sound like a stand alone sentence.02br
02br
00Thanks again guys! 0-

0This must be another one of those differnces of the right and left shores of the Atlantic Ocean, then. As an American, I'd say "full-fledged."02br

0Ouch! Sorry again, Dynamix. First time in 71 years I've heard "Fully-fledged." "Full-blown" is another common synonym. They mean fully developed; full rank; full status. My American Heritage Dictionary lists "full-fledged / -blown" but not "fully-fledged / -blown." Must be pondial, as GG says. It's applied to anything which is not reduced in some way or in an early stage of development.

0 Edit. Feebs, We use a hyphen on this side. I notice you did not. Is that typical?02br
02br
01font00As a rule, an adverb is not followed by a hyphen in a phrase of this kind, whereas an adjective is. So full-fledged and fully fledged; full-blown and fully blown, close-knit and closely knit. It is a frequently broken rule these days.05002fo
