agree  jarry (X): or: without affecting costs/with no effect on costs

  -> Thank you - yes either of those as well
agree  Chris Hopley: strictly speaking, with a hyphen: cost-neutral
6 mins
  -> Of course! :-) Thank you!
agree  Jack den Haan: With Chris, too.//I'd be inclined to use the h. in both cases. Acc. to Oxf.Eng: Ess. Guide to Grammar there are no hard and fast rules, but a group of words forming a synt. unit normally has hyphens. I'd say the latter was the case here, but never mind...

  -> Thanks Jack. To hyphen or not to hyphen! Depends on whether the words are used with a noun, i.e. X is cost neutral (no hyphen), but Cost-neutral Y (with hyphen). I suspect there may be US / UK differences as well. :-)
