Macmillan has only the entry **[Home Town][1]**. <br> Oxford also has only the entry **[Home Town][2]** (although all examples suggested have **hometown** written). <br> VERSUS Cambridge has only the entry **[Hometown][3]**. <br>Microsoft Word keeps correcting me (I use BrE dictionary). It underlines **Home town**: I should write **Hometown**. 1) Which is the word I should use: **Home Town** or **Hometown**? I've read [here][4] that: ***Home town** is used for “My **home town** is Flower Mound.” Home is modifying the noun, town. <br> **Hometown** is an adjective, as in “My **hometown** memories.”* 2) Is this all right? Do both words exist, one as a noun and the other as an adjective? If it is the case, why the dictionaries don't have both entries?
