Apparently adverb hyphenation discussion plagues the web. One reasonably-serious page I found in a very quick search is http://www.dailywritingtips.com/adverbs-and-hyphens/ which cites the Chicago Manual of Style, among others. There are lots of places in our docs that use hyphens after the "-ly" suffix, so I think patch 3 is either too short because it should change more of them, or too long because we should leave this alone. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
