Re: I need some help!

Yep, logic alone could determine which is which, if you think about it.

Sandi, who uses all 3, each where it goes. :)

This is the worst possible kind of person to deal with. They don't have
anything but their own "I know it" attitude to back them up and don't
care. I'm aware that some folks havent been willing to accept followup,
but I do know when it or follow-up should be used instead of follow up.

Barb, I thought that the AAMT BOS (the first blue book) addressed this
and said that followup or follow-up is acceptable as a noun or
adjective, and the same with workup and checkup. It seems that hyphens
are trying to be done away with too, with acceptable words such as
flulike and lifelong and smashing words together (as is so common in
German) like Christmastime.

I can almost visualize the page in the first blue BOS though as it was
when I was doing editing at UPMC and we were trying to train the MTs to
use one word as opposed to the hyphenated version.

In the instance of my report from this post, this woman insists that
follow up is always two words--noun, adjective, verb.
