Language rules are complicated; it also depends what style (AP, APA, Chicago, etc.). There's a lot to learn and remember. I am constantly checking Merriam-Webster (online). I am always learning something new.
P.S. @MacDUFF, you are correct that the adjective "longtime" is one word (per Merriam-Webster). I don't think I realized that before I checked M-W tonight!
And I need my eyes checked. I was reading "long term." Lol. Thanks, now I need to go back to the thread about getting old as I have something to offer!

@SunValley, lol! It's sooo easy to do that! I worry that I'll miss something when I'm "on the clock."

Sooooo.....long-term is hyphenated, and longtime is one word. Just want to immortalize it.

In the northern part of the US, boughten is a common term. We use it, instead of store bought.
It is correct

You never know. I think it's double points in Scrabble LOL.
