According to Merriam-Webster, it should be About-Face with a hyphen in between.
- ghaff 3y agoMW is pretty canonical for American English but the use or non-use of hyphens in many contexts (including this one) varies sufficiently that I'm not inclined to say one or the other is universally right or wrong. I'm not sure I would have used one here without looking at MW although I can see why it might be preferred.
- ComputerGuru 3y agoFor words that can be confusing if not read as tacked on to the next (or if read as being connected to the previous one instead of the next one) then the hyphenation is strongly recommended to avoid misparsing.
