These two seem to me like they should be changed; otherwise they just don't look correct. > * "the exact same" -> "exactly the same" The old version sounds a bit colloquial to my ear, so it seems like it may be worth changing. The problem is, this change doesn't seem like it would generally be a direct substitution; it may require a major reorganization of the sentence. I think the resulting sentences need to be compared to see which is more clear and concise. > * "newly-received" -> "newly received" > * "recently-used" -> "recently used" I think these depend on context. To me, the former scans better when the combination of words is used as an adjective. -- Kevin Grittner EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
