Query Regarding the Hyphenation of a Term
Does it make sense to hyphenate "sex-life," since "sex" isn't an adjective, but, together, both nouns make up a specific noun?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hey, Clive!
What about "tractor-trailer" or "letter-writer?" Would you keep those separate as well, or go with a hyphen?
Thanks.

Hi,
Probably tractor-trailer, because It's not a trailer that pulls tractors.
Probably letter writer..
