Re: Editing Question--Punch list or Punchlist?

[HBacheler -at- aol -dot- com]

I believe your are talking about the  'construction industry'.
You might also be talking about the  'telecommunications/networking industry'.

What I have heard in both areas  is 'punchdown list'.

In the construction industry it is the person that  goes in after the 
customer has signed for the property, and within 30 days (or  similar) timeframe 
submits a list of things that need to be fixed to the  contractor.

In the telecommunications/networking industry it is the  connecting of wires 
to a 'punchblock' that is in the 'telephone closet/wire  closet'.

Going to Google/AOL search show a majority of the references use  
'punchlist', with a smattering of 'punch list' thrown in.

I would suggest  picking one  "punchlist'.  Then in your glossary use both in 
the list  (punchlist/punch list).  In each case, list the definition you 
choose, then  refer to the other as in 'see also ...'
