One of the biggest changes is that you no longer have to hyphenate most compound modifiers after versions of the verb “to be.” For example: “The man is well liked.” “The children are soft spoken.” Also, you don't need a hyphen when you use a modifier and the meaning is clear without it.
Is soft spoken one word or two?
