well, since Star and Map are two different Words im almost positive it would be Star Map. there could be some grammer rule that im not aware of, but generally, yeah it would be Star Map.

Tnx, too bad though... So 2 different words combined are always separated in english?

EDIT: sorry btw for flooding the forum with such a silly question

Hey. I'm not an English professor by any means but in such cases as yours, what you do is add a hyphen between the two words. Since no dictionary will have 'starmap', you have to use some other means of signifying the words should be together. Correct grammar of your title, if you were wanting to run the two words together as one is add a hypen. Hyphens are for that particular situation where you need to join two or more words together to form one. An example could be son-of-a-bitch. Most people tend to leave out the hyphens, but the inflection and the tone its spoken in is as if it was a single word.

Though, on the other hand, song titles tend to sit outside all rules of grammar. Use what you think is best. I guarentee no one will even give it a second thought regardless the choice you make.

Hope that helped

Cheers,
Zac

wow that is some quality answer, thanks for that preciate it

He's right; however, I wouldn't do-this. Why? Song/Artist names always cause trouble with symbols and other weird things. Example: TasteXperience. Every time I have to search for them on ebay, I end up typing Tastexperience, Taste xperience, Tasteexperience, and taste experience. So don't do the -.

A more appropriate example might be E-Razor. I have to search E- Razor, ERazor, E Razor, E-Razor, E -Razor, etc.
