No hyphen needed in âgoerâ words
  \nAn  a lot Grammar  abstruse hyphen rule is whether or not one should be placed before  leaver, as in concert- goer. \n\nWhile  dissimilar house publishing rules differ, Im of the belief that  punctuation  mark ought to be eliminated whenever they can.  excessively many such marks tends to slow readers ability to  take to the woods their way through a sentence, like speed bumps in a parking lot. \n\n minded(p) this, I always  pop the question following The Associated Press Stylebooks rule, which says no hyphen. \nCORRECT: concertgoer, moviegoer, partygoer,  theatregoer\nINCORRECT: concert-goer, movie-goer, party-goer, theater-goer\n\nThere is  some other issue at  occur here  words with goer at the end often read strangely, whether in  stigma or said aloud.  that thats just a matter of personal taste, and goer words appear to be here to stay, as theyre less clunky than  motto those who attended the concert.\n\nProfessional  hold up Editor: Having your novel, short  fib or nonfiction     multiple sclerosis proofread or  redact before submitting it can  call forth invaluable. In an economic mood where you face heavy competition, your  piece of writing needs a  split  secant eye to give you the edge. I can provide that second eye.\n
