RE: lifecycle or life-cycle or life cycle

["Eric Thomas" <ethomas -at- ftdi -dot- com>]

I had this discussion once at a previous company; in the end, we used
lifecycle as one word because our marketing department had latched on to
that spelling, and they had a lot of brochures and sales sheets using it.
Sometimes it is better to be consistent than correct.

Subject: lifecycle or life-cycle or life cycle


Hi,
  
  I am wondering what is the correct way of writing the term lifecycle (or
is it life-cycle or life cycle) in the context of   the systems development
lifecycle or a software lifecycle etc.
  
  I have   seen the three options lifecycle, life-cycle and life cycle used,
although it   seems that if popularity is an indicator then life cycle is
the correct   term.
