  • In English the ‘base’ of the word is ‘operate’. Co, an affix ( prefix ) modifies operate and means something like ‘operate together’, and can even be written as co-operative ( noun ) or co-operate ( verb, but antiquated in my opinion ) .

    So it’s usually written without the dash, but when it’s shorted to ‘coop’ I think it’s best to use the dash as it removes ambiguity.








  • TVs have a UHF switch so I can finally watch more channels. I really hate putting tinfoil on the rabbit ears and opening the window to sometimes get these new channels though, but they work better if I hold onto the antenna. It’s hard to see what I’m watching if I do this, but at least I can mostly hear what they’re saying, and the picture is dark anyway, so even if I could see at this angle, it would be too dark and snowy.
