Cassandra,
According to all of my latest dictionary sources (both hardcopy and online),
"timesheet" remains to be correctly spelled as one word.
I am a 22+ year veteran technical writer who has always successfully (with my
customers) spelled it as one word.
Good Luck!

Subject: Your Opinion, please
I am working in a document were the word "timesheet" is being used
constantly. Is the word timesheet one word or two. I checked the
dictionary and it appears to be two words but I checked with another
technical communicator who said she uses it as one word. The document I'm
proofing has it both ways and I need to be consistent either way.
Your quick reply is appreciated.
