OP Hi everybody.
I have a question about spelling that I don't seem to be able to resolve. I have been writing whole-wheat and whole-grain, when used as adjectives, with an hyphen, and the dictionary I have on my Mac supports this.
However, around the web I see a lot more often "whole wheat" and "whole grain" and don't seem to be able to find a resolution as to which version is correct.
Even on the NYTimes site, I can see "whole wheat" besides "whole-wheat".
Can any of you help me directly or recommend a source where I can finally find an answer to my question?
Thank you in advance for your help with this "whole" matter.
Simona
