*waves to get attention* I have a petition

[AonEne he/him]

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

Is there any way to vote no without calling you a weirdo?

You want to say no? I am offend!  I’ll add one for you... 

Edit: (I’m joking around, don’t feel pressured to say yes)

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

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:

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.

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'.

I mean... Ene's my boss so... Frantically signs

Maybe even more things I won't sign then I will.

BUT I CAN'T RESIST THIS PETITION.
