Curious: Near Non-binary/nonbinary people of Mastodon, do you prefer non-binary or nonbinary? So that when I"m editing I use the proper one. I figure there probably isn't one right answer, but I can try and make the most number of people happy. Boosts welcome so I get a better sample size.[ ] non-binary[ ] nonbinary

@Canageek I’m wildly inconsistent about my own usage, voted for the one I think I use more often

@Canageek weirdly I think I write it "non-binary" but say it "nonbinary" with no stop or pause between the parts.

@Canageek can’t seem to work the poll but I always go for nonbinary because the hyphenised version reminds me of “bi-sexual” which is always bad

@half_rat Right now it is 73% no hyphen after 49 votes, so you seem to be in the majority

@Canageek polls don’t work for me because cursed technology but i would recommend “nonbinary” for reasons of style; a hyphenated compound reads as more tentative, less established in the languageit’s like how we don’t italicize sushi any more, because it’s no longer exotic; everybody knows what “sushi” means, and using language in a way that implies by its structure that everybody knows what “nonbinary” means is a small but meaningful step toward that being true

@Canageek I'm not sure because I normally just say NB but I went with no hyphen

@Canageeki have no idea what this is for, but opinion:Nonbinary looks more casualNon-binary looks more formalSo i figure any usage preference would be based on what sort of writing it is, but also i would be the absolute furthest thing from upset if people just picked one so like. Not much of a preference lol

@Canageek lol"The prefix non- may be joined to a word by means of a hyphen, which is standard in British usage. In many cases, especially in American usage, non- is joined without a hyphen. (For example, nonbaseball is relatively common, but noncricket, referring to a primarily British sport, is rare.) Some non- words rarely or never use a hyphen (such as nonentity). By contrast, un- is almost always spelled without a hyphen."https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/non-

@Canageek its unhelpful I know and I do apologize its because my approach to English is just incredibly uncaring in general. I switch between UK and US English spelling constantly and I fuck my pronunciation up so much to the point that I just don't bother with specific such as this one when the end result is the same im not entirely sure too many folks are gonna be bothered if you have a hyphen in it or not honestly
