Thank you, LeAnne.

SearchMaster has it as borde or frontera.

Does anyone know how to spell border in Spanish? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've seen it used both ways. I prefer to use the hyphen with anti-i words. Whichever way it's used would be correct, so go with your personal preference.

Mark, I've seen it both ways. I think hyphenated is somewhat preferred -- and I think in Morson's, she says to hyphenate anti-i words -- but all other anti words are solid. Drives me crazy to have this arbitrary exception. So I don't hyphenate it.

What can I say? I'm a rebel. But it *is* listed as a solid word in medical dictionaries here, so it's not like I'm going completely on my own path.

Mark, I would go with anti-inflammatory. I have seen it hyphenated in FDA advisory committee documents.

What is the preferred:

anti-inflammatory

Thanks so much, Susana. That makes sense.
Comment by Jennie Ann on August 27, 2009 at 10:32
I'm going nuts with "onboard" and "on board" and "on-board."

Example A. I worked in the hole for two years on-board ship.
Example B. I worked in the hole for two years onboard ship.
Example C. I worked in the hole for two years on board ship.

Reading about several articles about these words, I am inclined to make it two words, BUT now I am doubting myself. Anybody know?

Thanks, Janet and April.
