Frequently Asked Questions

Is it ever-changing or ever changing?

Hyphenate it before a noun — the ever-changing landscape. The open form is acceptable after a verb, though many style guides keep the hyphen everywhere because 'ever' is doing the modifying, not standing alone.

Is 'ever-changing' a cliché?

It edges close to one, particularly in business writing about the 'ever-changing marketplace'. It works better when the change is the actual subject — weather, light, coastline — than as filler emphasis.
