standard North-American sized
Can we please standardize handling of dashes in multi-word adverb-adjective phrases?
Option 1: North American-sized (most common)
Option 2: North-American sized (as seen in the article)
Option 3: North-American-sized (makes most sense to me)

None of them need dashes. I guess two is my favorite if I have to have a dash.
