Topic: [REJECTED] Tag alias: sundress -> sun_dress

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The single word is the proper spelling of the term; "sundress" is spelled that way on at least Wikipedia ("Sun dress" just redirects to the single word article and the two word spelling is not acknowledged), Wiktionary ("sun dress" has no entry or redirect) Merriam-Webster (entering "sun dress" there redirects to the single word), Cambridge Dictionary (doesn't even recognize "sun dress", instead bringing up suggestions which include "sundress") and Collins English Dictionary ("sun dress" leads to a page that says "Sorry, no results for “sun dress” in the English Dictionary." along with a number of suggestions including "sundress"). Lexico, which is "powered by" the Oxford English Dictionary, and Oxford Learner's Dictionaries also use "sundress" and don't have "sun dress".

So if anything, the alias should be reversed.

^^^^^^^

The reverse is fine as well. For me, what really matters is that one gets aliased to the other, regardless of which one is kept.
