Quotation from the foreword of Webster’s New World Dictionary Spelling Variation …
The spelling of compounds has in reality far more variety than any dictionary can show. Various dictionaries show the spellings firefighter, fire fighter and fire-fighter, all of which are used. To enter all possibilities for all compounds would take more space than any dictionary should devote to so trivial a question, so most dictionaries enter only one form – that which their editors take to be the most common or consistent of the options – and ignore the others. The prefix co- creates a similar problem: the forms cooperate, co-operate, and coöperate are all possibilities.
