stop over

[Offroad]

Dear teachers...

Could 'stop over' be a noun?

There are 2 stops-over from London to Tokyo.
I am stuck on a stop-over.
The plain's(or flight's) stop over was not planned.

Thanks

Yes, I just checked, there's no hyphen. It does look strange. :-D

Check the second rule out.

Thanks for the link.

Incidentally, I think it's helpful not to quote a pretty-looking link-name uncritically, as if what it says is bound to be right. I did a whois search on grammarbook.com, and got this:

I haven't looked at the site yet, but when I do I'll bear in mind that it's registered to goddady.com. ;-)

PS Aha - it looks as if GoDaddy is something to do with education in the USA; but it's 'Inc.' which suggests to me that money is involved somewhere (not that that's a Bad Thing).

The PS to my last post was wrong. GoDaddy is nothing to do with education; it's a business that sells domain names.
