Talk:Underway

The term has traditionally been written as two words, whether in its nautical or metaphorical sense. 'Underway' as a single word is a fairly recent illiteracy, but it has been steadily gaining ground, and is seen in reputable newspapers and on the BBC. The point will soon be reached when it can no longer be described as incorrect, when it will become the dominant usage.
