atw: Re: Print Heads [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

I read somewhere recently about changes in English, and one comment was
about the effect of computer terminology and North Americans.   It seems
that they often combine words to make new ones.  Maybe printhead is an
example.

Hi All,

One of the developers asked me if ‘print heads’ was written as one or two
words.

I noted that I would write it as two words as one does not write ‘VCR
heads’ or ‘print services’ as one word but I couldn’t explain why from a
‘grammatical’ perspective…

Any ideas?
