Initial quote is from a closed thread where I didn't get an opportunity to respond to Steve Shaw, who seems to have a superiority complex (undeserved) about the use of the English language.

Well you need to get out more, Nigel. You move away from hyphens if you want to. I shall continue to use them where I think they make things clearer. And there's not a lot wrong with my grasp of English and I don't like remarks of that kind. I've got my eye on you now, you silly lad. I should hire a proofreader from now on if I were you.
I have no objection to the use of hyphens when they add to the clarity of the English language.

But I have no need of a proof-reader when discussing whether “Cut-price” means the same as “cheap”.
Your argument Cut-price is a perfectly good synonym of cheap or bargain displays a total ignorance of what a ‘synonym’ is.
According to the OED: Synonym: A word or phrase which means exactly the same, or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language.

The point of dictionaries of synonyms (thesauruses, or thesorai) is that they give you a number of alternatives to a given word, to allow you to select the one closest in meaning to what you intend. This does not mean that any word within the same heading is totally interchangeable.
If you wish to ‘deconstruct’ my comments to show where I’m in error, please go ahead. You have stated in the past that you have done so with others, but I feel that I will meet, and negate, any challenge you choose to make.

And there's not a lot wrong with my grasp of English and I don't like remarks of that kind
You fail to state what kind of remarks you don’t like.

Your turn!
