Remove hyphen from phrasal verb #48

Closed philipmw closed 7 years ago

In the phrase "Please plug-in ...", "plug-in" is a phrasal verb: a verb + a preposition. It is incorrect to hyphenate phrasal verbs.

Sources:

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/punctuation/hyphen "You should NOT put a hyphen within phrasal verbs - verbs made up of a main verb and an adverb or preposition."
http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/phrasal-verbs "there are no hyphens in phrasal verbs when you use them as verbs"
