| May 14 at 21:02 | comment | added | RubeOnRails | I wonder what the rules are if a proper noun is embedded in the phrasal adjective and doesn't just begin or terminate it. Forgive the terrible example, but something like: a non-Pablo Picasso-painted picture. | |

| May 14 at 20:42 | comment | added | RubeOnRails | It seems that the exceptions to the rule of hyphenating compound/phrasal adjectives would be: the phrase begins with an adverb, the phrase contains a proper noun, the phrase is borrowed from a foreign language, or the phrase follows the noun it modifies. | |

Added an Ngram graph link to fill the gap created by the nonfunctioning Ngram chart URL that I posted earlier.
