Are you really, really sure? Just as e.e.***mings (the American poet)
had an incurable distrust of the  capitals,    I tend to believe that
genneXt distrusts the hyphenated compound word. I think 'first class'
is hyphenated only in very rare adjectival positions such as 'a first-
class mind.'   Hyphenation, I think, as language is used today, is
more the exception than the rule.
