without hyphens[edit]

What is "the regular spelling with hyphens"? I don't understand what hyphens have to do with it, is this meant to be "without apostrophes"? Sabretoof 12:44, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I assume it means things like fish-n-chips, but there's nothing regular about that. In fact we don't even have the meaning of "and" under either n or -n-. I'll change the phrasing. 109.155.186.44 09:24, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Standard vs. non-standard[edit]

I'm confused by the designation of the 'n' form as standard, and 'n form as non-standard. I see that it's following the usual rule of replacing the elided letters with an apostrophe, but in my experience, the 'n form is far more common. Clarification? Nursebootsy 23:04, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
