Bowed to custom and used "onsite"

Hyphenated on-site per suggestion

| Jan 5, 2012 at 0:31 | comment | added | Gnawme | @FumbleFingers You'd accept hyphens? What's the world coming to? :-b (I may consider modifying my answer...) | |
| Jan 5, 2012 at 0:23 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | I'd go even further, and say that whereas I wouldn't be inclined to accept on-premises as valid usage, I have no problem with the hyphenated on-site. | |
