Frequently asked questions
When do you hyphenate face-to-face?
Hyphenate it when it modifies a noun — a face-to-face interview, face-to-face contact. Leave the hyphens out when it works as an adverb after the verb — we met face to face.
What is the difference between face-to-face and in-person?
They mean the same thing in most contexts, and both contrast with remote. 'In-person' is the more common wording in American English and in event listings; 'face-to-face' carries a slight extra sense of direct, two-way contact between individuals.
