[quoted lines by Jamie Lokier on 2006/02/09 at 18:55 +0000]

>I think the hyphen is out of place; it looks very wrong to my eye, but
>I'm not a grammarian so don't have a fine explanation.

You're quite right ... "read in" should be two separate words as there should
not be a hyphen between a verb and a preposition.

>In the same way, "past-tense" looks quite wrong too.

Again, you're right. A hyphen shouldn't be used to separate an adjective from
the noun it modifies. For example, you'd never say "I live in a brown-house".
