Hi
An important, oft-neglected issue is… – my today’s reading ‘exercise’.
Very intellectual text.
I’ve never met that oft!
oft - Often. Often (:)) used in combination: his oft-expressed philosophy; oft-repeated tales.
thefreedictionary.com/oft
OK.
an oft told story/tale – with no hyphen - thank you, Mr. Google!
oft-quoted,
oft-recurring,
…
Could you say something about the way how to use that oft – only in the fixed (compound) words or it also can be normally used as a shorten form of often - separately?
Or it’s better just to keep it in the passive vocabulary?
