Guest guest Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 I would go with applicator full. I checked, but applicatorful doesn't seem to have become a word yet, like cupful. I might hyphenate it though. Hmmm... one applicator full b.i.d. one applicator-full b.i.d. Both look funny to me! I think I would go with the hyphen because it's a term that is almost a word. Like cup full eventually became one word. Language is always evolving. So many words go from one word, then to hyphenated, and finally to one word. Sometimes these things are more gray than black-and-white. Anyone else? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My Home Page: http://www.renesue.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Applicatorful? Hi, all, A quick question: Would the correct term be applicatorful or applicator full? (i.e., apply 1 applicatorful(l) b.i.d. ) Thanks!
