- Koshkin 9y agoEnglish is left-associative.
- lisper 9y agoActually, it isn't. An "automatic donut maker" doesn't make automatic donuts. Compound adjectives in English should be hyphenated, so strictly speaking, the GP is correct and the headline should have been: "The Computer-History Simulation Project."
- Koshkin 9y agoGood point about hyphenation, except it should probably be used the other way around: your example should be spelled "automatic donut-maker" (which looks more natural to me than "Computer-History").
