As I posted in another thread... I flunked Mrs. Gregg’s 8th grade English grammar class at Taipei American School in 1958.

So this hits close to home.

Jesus Christ, this is too much off-season before we even really hit the summer.

Is it even possible to have too much off-season?

Or offseason? Or off season?

It's always rough if you have no times out.

I have an uncle that does this with fucking everything. “Fuimos a News Braunsfels la semana pasada. To Schlitterbahns.”

New Brauns is full.  Californians should move elsewhere.

On my phone, so wont link, but Mirriam Webster says "time-out" is noun.  With hyphen.  Without quotes.

I can post a link while on my phone. Why can’t you? Surely you don’t have some hangup about posting a link from your phone. That wouldn’t make sense. A reasonable person might conclude that you just don’t know how. Here’s the Merriam Webster link, posted from my phone (and what else would it be other than a noun?):

I clicked on this thread thinking it was a Texas Longhorn football game where we can back to win with a lot of grass between us and the end zone and not much time on the clock.

i wish westlake had one time out remaining.  those were some good burgers, dude.

The off-season has been the only thing enjoyable around here the last decade.

We need a grammar version of the cloaks room. 

If a group of sergeants major bought a time share together, would it be the sergeants major’s time share?

It's Walmart's. At least in the Midwest they speak as though Sam Walton has an office in the back room.

Except that it's not because timeout in sports contexts is a compound noun, not a hyphenated noun.

100% of people who say "times out" are pompous douche nozzles who are trying to sound smarter than they are.

It's become a compound noun because people stupid enough to use the term "douche nozzles" in public started smashing the words together as it exited their mongoloid mouths all the way to the pages of Mirriam Webster. Like an ouroboros of calloused fighting texas aggy hands ruining the jeans of the person to their left.

I mean, that's cute, but you're still wrong.

Do you think "notesbook" is the plural of "notebook"?  Were you close with either of your grandsfather?  How many toolsbox do you own?

Would it be Editors-Nazi?

The reality is that we speak it as a single noun phrase as in that_Buckeye_over_there's Bush Lite spitoon.  Whether we write it as one word, hyphenated, or two words is arbitrary.

Well, I am sad to say that this thread is exactly what I expected it to be. Kept coming to the top, so I finally had to click it. Christ.

None of these examples is applicable.
