							| Compound words - housework x workhouse 
 |  
							| I have just realised there might be compound words consisting of 2 interchangeable words such as: house + work = housework / workhouse
 day + dream = daydrem / dreamday (day of my dreams)
 
 Can you please help me to find more compound words like that?? Thanks!

							| dreamday isn �t a word. You could use it as two words, though. "Wow! This was my dream day at work."   Bruce |  12 Oct 2010
