So you’re wondering, it is chickenmonkeydog or chicken monkey dog? Does it matter? If you’re one of those people for whom it does matter, then here is your answer: We haven’t decided.
Conall was leaning towards the three word versions, whilst Liam thought a single run-on word looked better. We talked about it. We chatted over IM. We emailed back and forth. We even spoke about it on the phone. One word. Three words. Hyphens. No hyphens. Definitely no hyphens, we agreed. Chicken monkey dog? Chicken Monkey Dog? chickenmonkeydog? chickenmonkeydog? We could go on and on, but you are probably getting the point here.
In the end, we decided to leave it for now. No preference. All are acceptable. Over time we’ll likely find ourselves using one style or another most regularly, and stick with it, but for now anything is game. If we feel differently in the future, we’ll keep you posted.
