Spelling Technicality - One Word or Two?
I am putting together the graphics for my banner, cards, website, etc. I've always spelled it as "Facepainting" but I have come to realize that may not be correct. Google corrects it for me to Face painting (two words). I want my stuff to be right (I'm a stickler for english spelling and grammar and of course I want to look professional). Which do you think is right?
Re: Spelling Technicality - One Word or Two?
I use "FACE PAINTING" - two words. I researched it too. And I'm a lover of language too ). <<-- See?? I even put a period after my happy face!

And, PLEASE, if you hyphenate the word PAINTING....
hyphenate between the T and the I...
NOT between the N and the T!
FACE

It's a funny typo that shows up sometimes! Face pain. What a great advertisement for our services!

Re: Spelling Technicality - One Word or Two?
Oh, shoot!
Does this mean that I should be
fess penter instead of fesspenter?
I don't think I like that...
des fess in French means
"butt" or "behind" or something like that.

Re: Spelling Technicality - One Word or Two?
yes, but one word or two doesn't really change that does it, butt painter?

Perry that was the funniest comment- what do you call humour that is blatantly obvious??? Cause that's what gets my goat. Teeheee!
Re: Spelling Technicality - One Word or Two?
But what about the illusive "face-painting" with the hyphen between the two words?
Re: Spelling Technicality - One Word or Two?
Let's get international here and call it "L'art du Visage"
Goddamn that sounds sexy...

Re: Spelling Technicality - One Word or Two?
Damn... That does sound nice. If I knew I could get away with it, that's what I'd put on my business cards. Probably not a good idea for a little rural town like this one...
Re: Spelling Technicality - One Word or Two?
Just don't say "Painter of Faces" passive voice is a big no no for langauge lovers.
Re: Spelling Technicality - One Word or Two?
LOL! I don't think either of those would work with my name - Bee Happy Faces. I was trying to be all sophisticated like that, but I'm just not. I think two words is actually the way to go. I even googled it with the hyphen and saw nothing with hypens. I don't like the hyphen anyway. I don't know how that's supposed to be used in english but I just don't think it looks right.
Re: Spelling Technicality - One Word or Two?
Perry, you are too funny!! Well, I guess a cheek is a cheek, be it on the butt or face, right? I guess I've always done it as two words on my printed materials. But for whatever reason it doesn't stop so many kids from calling it "paint facing!" (anyone else encounter that one?)
