Do all of these look OK without hyphens? filmgoer, festivalgoer, paradegoer, theatergoer, moviegoer, concertgoer, churchgoer Thank you. Sent from my iPhone 4S
According to the AP manual, if it's in the dictionary, write it the way the dictionary does (usually with no hyphen). If it's not in the dictionary, use a hyphen. It's an arbitrary rule, but at least it's something to go by. I have no idea what Chicago says.
