One word or two words?

[Dibbons]

I see Road Runner and I see Roadrunner.

 

[GetX'd]

One word

 

[Hemi Rebel]

Not so fast

 

[GetX'd]

When it's capitalized it's one word....... Besides I was referring to the bird ...... Did you mean the car...? Lol..

- - - Updated - - -

Now you went and made me check to see if I was correct. The dictionary has it as one word.... I speak the truth..

 

[Hemi Rebel]

It actually depends on what you are referring to. If its the animal, its one word. If its the car, its two

 

[mmissile]

2. look at a car.

 

[Hemi Rebel]

As a noun its 1 word, as an adjective its 2. It should actually be 1 word on the car, although even though its the name of the car, i like it better as an adjective on the car.

 

[WileE]

The car is, and always has been, 2 words.

There needs to be some checks and balances as to the proper use of the English language. Nowadays if you correct someones mistakes, you get called a Grammar Nazi. Whatever happened to having some pride in yourself?
I make mistakes, but it is usually a typo, not a grammar issue. I merely graduated from a California public high school, yet I see even college educated people write stuff like...." I seen my friend the other day, he was working on his roadrunner. His car needs restored, the tires replaced to. His wife doesn't like him spending the money though. There always arguing about the car."

As noted earlier - check your dictionary. The correct spelling is as related to the bird is "Roadrunner". You can title a car whatever you want - but it's named after something in this case - and that is the Roadrunner. Oxford English Dictionary - Wikipedia - additional sources.

By your logic, yes it should be one word...but it looks like Chrysler took some creative license.

I agree, as a bird it is one word, the car is two words. Just because something is named after a real bird doesn't mean Chrysler has to spell it the same way.

Not sure how "Road Runner" can be used as an adjective... can you use it in a sentence?

 

[wedge69]

Two words. ROAD RUNNER just like SUPER BEE ! (for you dodge guys ) :headbang:

"Paul Tergat is an extremely excellent track, cross country, and road runner, however he is now concentrating on his marathon running."
