Talk:Musidora: The Bather 'At the Doubtful Breeze Alarmed'

Hyphenating "classically"?
After checking several good dictionaries (oxforddictionaries, macmillandictionary, merriam-webster, collinsdictionary), I don't find any reference that distinguishes between "classically-educated" and "classically educated". In these dictionaries, when "classically" is followed by a hyphen, it is only in some example sentences, and while those appear to be drawn from actual use, they seem to reflect personal or institutional taste. Lots of people heavily salt their writing with hyphens after standard ly- adverbs, but it is WP's style to omit them: "Avoid using a hyphen after a standard -ly adverb" and "Rewording is preferable". If you asked 50 people about this, I bet 48 would think the hyphen made no difference, and I wouldn't be surprised if the remaining 2 would agree on how to define that difference. In this article, the hyphen should be dropped, but feel free to reword that sentence. Chris the speller  yack  16:32, 2 November 2016 (UTC)


 * "Classically-educated" means "educated in the Classics", "classically educated" means educated according to the classic curriculum (the Trivium and Quadrivium). The two are not synonymous. (To put a stop to this, I've reworded the paragraph in question to get rid of "classically-educated" altogether.) &#8209; Iridescent 16:40, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
