Well, that’s news to the book publishing world, but thanks for the additional information. Webster’s continues to mislead the people.
They still spell good-bye with a hyphen, like some kind of stubborn old professor.
dear firebrand,
re: “Webster’s continues to mislead the people.”
I use a 4th Collegiate Edition, published before “the magic Negro” even thought about being president.
Now, the question ... “Other than the Oxford Dictionary or Webster’s editions, what mystical book of letters do you use for word definitions?”
“good-bye” is grammatically correct, and has been since I learned that term in the 1950’s.
