On voit le plus souvent l’expression coût-utilité avec un trait d’union, mais cette graphie est discutable. En effet, le trait d’union sert à créer une apposition (mot composé) dans un rapport de coordination (avion-citerne) ou de subordination (auto-école), alors qu’en fait il s’agit ici d’une mise en relation : coût par rapport à l’utilité. On peut réduire l’ambiguïté que crée le trait d’union en le remplaçant par une barre oblique, qui marque une relation ou une opposition entre deux éléments. La même logique s’applique à étude cas/témoins, analyse coût/efficacité, etc. 1, record 1, French, - analyse%20co%C3%BBt%2Futilit%C3%A9

Not long ago, user groups were made up of closely knit professionals in the computer industry, or of "techies" sharing the latest advances. These groups are still popular, but lately, due to computer based tele-communicating, and the proliferation of computing, user groups have expanded to include members with any number of interests. Individuals who do not need to know the science of computers, but do need to know how to get the most out of them, are getting together to share insights and frustrations. 7, record 6, English, - users%20association
