Hello,
While updating #46418 I noticed the use of over-ridden and sub-class which
are more appropriate as overridden and subclass.
For subclass if you look up OOP languages (PHP/Java/etc) all official
documentation uses subclass without a hyphen;
https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.inheritance.php
For override;
> In general, use a hyphen to separate repeated letters in a compound word
- re-emergence, co-operative, film-maker, night-time - but there are some
exceptions, including overrun, override, overrule, underrate, withhold. As
usual, consult the Oxford English Dictionary if in doubt.
