High School Spelling: Should You Write It As One Word Or Two? by BrosG007: 9:14am On Sep 27
Recently, many people are confused about whether "high school" should be written as one word or two. English is always changing, and grammar rules evolve over time. So, it's natural to question what's correct today.

Traditionally, "high school" was written as two words. This followed standard grammar rules for compound nouns, where two separate words are used. However, in recent years, there has been a trend toward combining words like "high school" into one word—making it "highschool." This change is mostly seen in informal writing, influenced by the fast pace of modern communication, especially with social media and texting.

Still, not everyone agrees with this new approach. Some people prefer to stick with the traditional rule and write "high school" as two words, believing it is more accurate and consistent.

Ultimately, there is no definitive answer. The choice between writing "high school" as one word or two depends on context, the writing style you're following, and personal preference. In formal writing, like academic papers, it's best to use "high school" as two words. However, in casual writing or texting, "highschool" might be acceptable.
