This is an interesting one that I think makes more sense the other way around in order to avoid confusion in a handful of situations. An article that explains why: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/404839/should-heavy-duty-always-be-hyphenated-when-used-as-an-adjective

@haveric So what your opinion would be? To change it all around, or rather, case-by-case? I'd love to see ither opinions, maybe some style guide consesnus on using hyphen, similar how the serial comma is used.

While I get the possible ambiguity that can result from not using a hyphen, one thing that got me thinking was one of the reply that "but apparently Americans are more likely to discard the hyphen than Brits, according to that NGram"

So what your opinion would be?

I'm leaning towards heavy-duty everywhere. Either way you choose, we should stay consistent, so I would avoid mixing the two. Are there any instances of translating this where it changes the meaning depending on which is used? (I played with google translate and there's a handful different there, but I don't know how accurate or relevant they are and I'm not sure how easy this is to answer)

"but apparently Americans are more likely to discard the hyphen than Brits, according to that NGram"

I saw this as well, but with it having various usages, I would lean toward using the one that removes any confusion when reading.

Also, actual NGram usage seems to disagree with that statement (or the statement is poorly worded, we may discard it more than Brits, but we still use it more compared to the alternatives):

I think I'll keep this PR as is for now, as changing it the other way around would be actually more work than doing the new PR; if a hyphen one would be preferred though, we should make a new PR for that :)

Should this one be closed now that your other PR was created?
