Dash usage?
Hey, this question's a bit straightforward.
Should I use a dash in this sentence?
"Her nickel-colored shrit."
Or should it be. . .
"Her nickel colored shirt."
Thanks for any help. I'm really thinking it's the first one; if it is, I need to stop second-guessing myself. If it isn't I need to crack open a grammar book from time to time.
