- Using non- to prefix a two-word phrase - English Language Usage . . .
Note also that most North American publishers use a hyphen after non only when it precedes a capital letter, so non-British and non-European, but nonbeliever and even nonnative British publishers are much more apt to hyphenate all non-compounds no matter the following latter, so non-believer and non-native Just don’t hyphenate nonchalant :)
- No, not, and non - English Language Usage Stack Exchange
Not is a negative adverb; no is a negative quantifier; non- is a negative prefix Since negation is so important, thousands of idioms use each of these, among other negatives Consequently there are lots of exceptions to the general rules below Non- is not a word, but a part of another word, usually a descriptive adjective:
- hyphenation - Is the use of a hyphen between non and an adjective . . .
Except "non" is not an English word, it is a prefix of Latin origin Which is why American style manuals will always ask you to merge it with the subsequent word, without a hyphen British rules differ, and the "non-" construction is frequently found in the literature
- prefixes - When is the prefix non- used vs un-? - English Language . . .
"Non-" is defined as "a prefix meaning 'not,' freely used as an English formative, usually with a simple negative force as implying mere negation or absence of something (rather than the opposite or reverse of it, as often expressed by un-)

- Hyphens after the prefixes “non-” and “anti-” in mathematics
Is there a convention when to attach the prefixes non-and anti-to mathematical terms using a hyphen and when without? One uses non-zero but also noncommutative Likewise for anti- I no longer know which is correct – anti-isomorphism or antiisomorphism, anti-isometry or antiisometry
- Is Jack of all trades, master of none really just a part of a longer . . .
Then the single-statement version was coined But now, most people recognise (and, I'd say, use) the slightly longer expression which is now equally 'a proverb' Not the original, but hardly fake If fake were taken to be a synonym of 'non-original', wouldn't all of Late Modern English (our present-day language) be 'fake'? –
