POP QUIZ (warning: dorky/nerdy word knowledge question)
Question: Does Chicago Manual of Style prefer "line-up" or "lineup"?
Information:
Both are acceptable according to a reliable dictionary.
Neither is identified as a primarily British spelling.
AP style tends to prefer non-hyphenated versions when available.
I could not find this word in the manual, or a conclusive rule which would apply to this word without question.
Discuss, please.
