Assume v. Presume

Either is acceptable, I would say. Traditionally, in English, words are combined by using a hyphen. As time goes on the hyphen may get dropped. A couple of generations ago "to-day" was the conventional spelling.
 
Headteacher or head-teacher or head teacher? Seems like 'hardworking' has been adopted by the political people.
 
A head-teacher is a teacher of heads. I prefer headmaster.

Hardworking has only been adopted by some illiterate Tory politician or one of their spin doctors.

When will no-one or no one become noone? Or a lot become alot? Innit?
 
I always avoid "no one" if I can, and use "nobody". Personally I prefer use a hyphen between to ohs to stop them being pronounced oo: eg co-operative.
 
£100 - £70 (70%) = £30. More =£99
Is that the angle that you are coming from?

Two things really.

1 the inanity of specifying 70% off and then saying possibly more off. Actually it said up to 70% off or more.

2 could they be charging 70% more in some cases? So what was £100 will be £170?
 
The Times today:

Boy 6 found alive after air crash kills his parents

The story was tragic enough already, without turning the poor lad into a murderer.
