I have heard that using hyphen is more prevalent in BrE English, but I also saw many texts from
Americans who used it, e.g., though-provoking, non-native, etc. Nonetheless, I have two questions.
First, have I heard something true about the prevalence?
Second, are there any rules for distinguishing nationality of authors only based on usage of hyphen in their texts?
Thanks!
