                              Clarification... non- is a prefix... by neksys 2004-09-24 10:12:55
...and as such, is always written as a compound word WITHOUT the hyphen. HOWEVER there is an exception in cases where the second element of a compund consists of more than one word. If we consider "warmongering peacenik" to be one unit, then there is a hyphen. If peacenik is separate, there is no hyphen. That said, however, the beauty or difficulty of the English language it is made up of popularly accepted conventions, and in this case, a quick google search returns 36 results for "non-warmongering" and 0 for "nonwarmongering". The hyphens have it, correct or no.
