โฅ๏ธ *Hyphen in Compound Adjective With Numbers*
When numbers are used as the first part of a compound adjective, use a hyphen to connect them to the noun that follows them.
This way, the reader knows that both words function like a unit to modify another noun. This applies whether the number is written in words or in digits.
- The president of the company gave a 10-minute speech to the Board of Directors.
- He is knowledgeable in thirteenth-century politics.
- The boy threw a rock at the second-story window.
โ ๏ธ However, a hyphen is not required if the number is the second word in the compound adjective.
- He is a victim of Type 2 diabetes.
- This elevator doesnโt go down to Basement 3.

โ๏ธ *The Vocabulary Note*
*Postpone*
To postpone something is to put it off until later. You can postpone an appointment today and reschedule it for tomorrow.
*overwhelm*
Overwhelm means โgive a person too much of something.โ If your friend agrees to feed your pet fish while youโre on vacation, donโt overwhelm her with requests by also asking her to do your laundry and wash the dishes.
*nonplussed*
If a conversation with someone leaves you scratching your head and wondering what point they were trying to make, you are nonplussed: bewildered, puzzled, often speechless.
*noncommittal*
When you want to keep all your options open, stay noncommittal. This means you say "maybe" and "I'll see if I can do that," rather than making promises to do specific things.
*nonchalant*
If your friend is acting cool, unconcerned or in an indifferent manner, call him nonchalant โ like when he saunters by a group of whispering, giggling people and just nods and says, "Hey."
*intrepid*
Intrepid is just a fancy word for describing a person or action that is bold and brave. Super heroes are intrepid in their struggle for truth, justice and the American way.
*innocuous*
Something that's innocuous isn't harmful or likely to cause injury. Public figures like mayors and governors have to expect they'll get critical or even hurtful emails and phone calls, as well as more innocuous feedback.
*ineffable*
Anything ineffable is unspeakably beautiful, moving, or horrible. Itโs beyond expression. If something is so powerful or emotional that you can't even describe it, itโs ineffable.
*incorrigible*
Someone incorrigible seems to be beyond correcting, improving, or changing. When you talk about an incorrigible bully, you're saying they're always going to push other people around.
*Disheveled*
The meaning of disheveled is disordered clothing or hair. If he were coming in from the snow, you could blame static and hat-hair for his disheveled look, but no, he just never uses a comb.
*Disgruntled*
Disgruntled sounds like what it is โ dissatisfied, grunting and grumbling. You could become a disgruntled employee if your boss swipes all your best ideas without giving you credit (or a raise).
