I think "weigh off" disconnects the words, separates the thought into two
things and kinda sounds like "way off". "Weighoff" looks like a professional
hockey player's name and is not recognized by the spell checker in Microsoft
Outlook (but then, that could be a bonus!).
Personally, I like "weigh-off", it conveys a singularity of thought and is
easy to read. Besides, I've invested heavily in hyphen futures...

Now I know I make mistakes all the time, but what is the correct
presentation for the word
"Weighoff"?
Is it
Weigh off
Weigh-off
Weighoff
?
