But if you say coworking, how do you know if it is co-working or cow-orking?

Coworking, not Co-Working

Hi folks; I started the coworking stuff, and it has since been adopted around the world in a grassroots way. The word is "coworking" without a dash; vernacular words like coworking tend to drop dashes since dashes are akward to constantly use in common words.

Best,

Hmm...

I'm familiar with coworker (or co-worker--&, at one yahoogroup I used to read, cow-orker, which started as a humble typo, but so amused the regular readership it became a running joke, adopted by all.)--but I never before saw the "cowork" root used either by itself, or with any other ending but "__er" or "__ers."

"Suite133 will be Washington's first manifestation of a new office model known as co-working - a sort of tightly knit but loosely affiliated office environment that will have a rotating cast of entrepreneurs and designers who will share space, but will not be part of a traditional business structure."

"If you look back just one year, you’ll see over 110 local efforts to get coworking spaces set up around the world. This isn’t an accident and this isn’t just the work of Silicon Valley types. This is the work of turned on, smart and destiny-shaping independents." - Chris Messina, http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2007/09/07/on-exporting-the-culture-of-silicon-valley/
