<br>
Retain the hyphen when forming nouns, adjectives and verbs that indicate <br>
occupation or status:<br>
co-author co-pilot<br>
co-chairman co-respondent (in a divorce suit)<br>
co-defendant co-signer<br>
co-host co-sponsor<br>
co-owner co-star<br>
co-partner co-worker<br>
(Several are exceptions to Webster's New World College Dictionary in the <br>
interests of consistency.)<br>
As part of a formal title before a name: co-President Alexa Manola, <br>
co-Executive Director Alfredo Hudson. But Smith Electric Co-Op if that <br>
is the formal name.<br>
Use no hyphen in other combinations:<br>
coed cooperate<br>
coeducation cooperative<br>
coequal coordinate<br>
coexist coordination<br>
coexistence copay<br>
Cooperate, coordinate and related words are exceptions to the rule that <br>
a hyphen is used if a prefix ends in a vowel and the word that follows <br>
begins with the same vowel.<br>
