when one uses the word superbonus in warlight, they arent referring to a bonus that is super, which would be a super bonus, they are referring to a specific type of bonus which makes it one word, with super as a signifying part of the bonus, so superbonus or super-bonus

And you can't trust spell-checkers on this one, since spell-checkers will approve any two words with a hyphen between them, such as flabbergasting-catfish. It sees them as two different words.

And you can say: "My day was super!"
But you can't say "I have had a super day!"

Moros I have a better question. Why do you change your name to moros. Every 20 days?

Hellbender's question seems more legit

woah how do you do that

Why, obviously he doesn't want to accidentally change his name to something stupid like "JumpingBobTaco", so he changes his name every twenty days so that he won't have the option to change his name for twenty more days! It's an ingenious strategy; I'm going to change my name right now.

We can compromise by calling it a "Super-Bonus".

Of course you can say "I have had a super day" What on Earth is wrong with that? It's perfectly correct.

You can say you've had a bad day, in the same way you can have had a super day.

When you say 'have had' like this, you are using what is called the present perfect tense.

Creating new words is improper

No it isn't, that's silly.

Super is not an adjective but a prefix, therefore it must be attached to the word.

No, super is also an adjective.

Adding a hyphen is nonsensical compromise.

"Super bonus" or "Superbonus", either one works. But you're better off, as Gui said, using something other than super. Super sounds a bit juvenile to me.

Super sounds a bit juvenile to me.

Well, super as a prefix is not only used to describe that something is awesome, but also as an indication that something belongs to a level above the rest (as it was in the original Latin definition). E.g. superintendent, superannuation, supernumerary, supervisor etc. All without hyphens or spaces.

If "super" sounds juvenile, we can make it sound a bit more adult by saying "collective" bonus :P

Hahahaha that would sound too "communist" or maybe even too "borg". I can't believe this thread is still going on :D

It's poll time! Let's vote and see which one most people prefer:

I agree with Qi.

I vote for Megabonus.

But megabonus is already a name for a collection of superbonuses (as in the European borders map). And it brings the same issues as super.

Never heard the megabonus phrase used on here.

Okay, but please tell me how exactly megabonus solves all the issues superbonus apparently brings up.

metabonus

I guess what I am saying is I didn't realize this was even an issue at all.
