Should we hyphenate 'spot on' and 'on point' after a to-be verb? Do you agree with the hyphens below? His performance was spot-on. His performance was on-point. Thank you.
I don't agree. If, on the other hand, those phrases were used before the noun (i.e., "spot-on performance"), then I would use hyphens.
yes... that! as i mentioned in an earlier thread [of yours, i think], when a series of words are used together as an adjective, they're hyphenated...
Total side note: In my younger years I can remember 'spot on' being wholly a Briticism. Interesting to see how it has caught on in the U.S. in the last few years. I hear it all the time now on television from Americans of a wide range of backgrounds. It has taken root.
