Hello
I was wondering how open compound words work.You can have these common compound words like ice cream, post office and credit card etc.
But what about open compound words like for example: " cheerleader trick","terminal window", "computer science". What are the rules about open compound words? Can I just make a compound word if I want? In all books and texts on the internet there is always just talked about the common open compound words(and i'm mainly talking about noun + noun) but what about the rest? I'm trying to learn computer science but I get carried away because I don't understand how noun + noun words work.
Best regards Rambolola
