  -> Thanks, Rebecca! Please don't be sorry — I HATE these abbreviations! As Far As I Know...

agree Richard Benham: I am not sure what the problem was supposed to be, but "rare-earth", used adjectivally like that, should be hypenated!//Americans hate hyphens, but apparently the Chicago Style Manual specifies them in such cases.

  -> Thanks, RB — me neither! I agree that my preference would be hyphenated, but I know there are a great number of instances out there where it isn't — typical US usage, of course, but I think this term has long been accepted now as an entity
