<Oglemi> also sirn hyphens are to be used with adjectives
<Oglemi> so a sleep inducer
<Oglemi> is two words
<Oglemi> if it was a sleep-inducing Pokemon
<Oglemi> then it'd be hyphenated
<RayJay> sleep-inducer could be a compound noun though
* macle has quit (Ping timeout)
<sirndpt> thanks!
<sirndpt> both
<sirndpt> :)
<Oglemi> Two words brought together as a compound may be written separately, written as one word, or connected by hyphens.
<Oglemi> it says we get to choose
<RayJay> exactly my point
<Oglemi> i personally like without the hyphen

So I'm going to say sleep inducer is unhyphenated like we decided subpar was.
