Quoting Andreas Tille (tillea@rki.de):

Justin is a native speaker of English and, from what I have seen in
more than 1 year of common work on English texts, very clever and
cautious when it comes at spelling, grammar, syntax and overall
knowledge of the English language and its flavours.
I would definitely recommend to stick with his advice.
Additional thoughts: latin prefix are used mostly the same way in most
languages: without hyphens and attached to the following word, except
when this would create diphtongues:
in French:
Megabit
Mega-octet
Metapaquet
Meta-induction
etc.
