Well, no not really. you could hyphenate it but it would look silly and MS word would put those little red lines under it, which indicates an error. :) This is because the rule of hyphenation is used more commonly with numbers. For instance: Twenty-two vs Twenty two. The exception to this rule appears usually in surnames(last names) For instance: my last name is "Campbell-Gray". My mother chose this for me because she was not married to my father yet she wanted me to carry both her last name and his for life.
