Description

It's quite common these days for people to write prefixes of verbs as separate words.
It's probably more common to write them prefixed, but that's not always an error, only sometimes.

A decent implementation will check the word is a verb and check the combined form is also a verb. If the latter is not true then a prefix written separated can be changed to hyphenated.

Examples

Separate word

Hyphenated

Potential False Positives

There are things to watch out for to tell if hyphenated prefixes are OK or not.
For prefixes written as separate words it should be rarer. A few common prefixes may also be independent words. Some might rarely come before verbs in correct English?
