[edit] Spelling

Can we get a consensus on spelling? This article is named "kickoff", but each reference inside the article includes a hyphen, making it "kick-off". I don't really care either way, I just think it should be uniform. For reference, the Oxford English Dictionary uses "kickoff" and does not include "kick-off". —bbatsell ¿? 18:50, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

The NFL uses "kickoff" (as a noun) so let's use that. Except when it is used as a verb, when it should be "kick off" (no hyphen). Sprkee 19:39, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
I agree. I'm going to go ahead and change the article page; if others disagree, feel free to revert and bring it to the talk page. Thanks! —bbatsell ¿? 19:55, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
