My review that included menage-a-trois was declined as over 4 words. I don't mind cuz it wasn't a real wonderful review anyhow.

But is 'menage a trois' really three separate words? I looked it up at dictionary.com before I posted the review and couldn't tell from the definition whether it was or not.

It's a state of mind to some and a philosophy to others...

The suggestions were good ones, but the review wasn't worth the effort.

When a man loves a woman very, very much, but then they get a little bored with each other they might invite someone new... oh sorry that's not what you were asking

Trois means three.

If the words are ok seperately, I'm thinking combining them doesn't automatically make them one word (but it sometimes works, like "payday" is two words but it's also one word that describes a particular day, wheras "Christmas Day" is usually two words)

Just checked it out in my Oxford French/English Dictionary and it is three words there. Same as in my Oxford English dictionary. Sorry that I could not be the bearer of better news.

I assure you that my knowledge of menages a trois is strictly academic.
