AonEne Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) This subforum should be called Roleplaying and not Role-Playing. If enough people agree, the mods might take notice and do it. Or just roll their eyes at us but hey it’s worth a shot, I do genuinely think this Edited January 27, 2020 by AonEne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honorless Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 I look at those two terms in a completely different way, might just be me though. I suggest checking in both reputable dictionaries and lingo dictionaries to be clear about different possible connotations 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silva Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Far as I can tell, only Vocabulary.com and Urban Dictionary spell it like one word. Merriam-Webster uses the hyphenated version as does Dictionary.com, Wikipedia, and countless others. In addition, there's a third possibility as well: role playing, that is found on Google and Collins English Dictionary. This isn't a simple question at all due to the many variants of the word. However, I believe I must say no on this one because It would feel heretical to disagree with Merriam-Webster. (But you're not a weirdo, Ene!) Also this: https://www.enworld.org/threads/roleplay-role-play-or-role-play.59043/ The abbreviation argument is a pretty good one. Role-play has more of a right to abbreviate to RP than roleplay Though, their poll leans your way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AonEne Posted January 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 I know it's spelled differently on different sites; the Internet has a long history of doing stuff like this - e-mails and web-sites being two examples, and almost always it eventually leans toward combining them as a word: emails, websites. That's my reasoning for it, plus the fact that most people on here today use 'roleplay'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
