yoyo

yo-yo

Grammarly says both are grammatically correct so I think technically both work.

I disagree with yo yo though. That’s saying yo twice.

I just use yoyo cus it’s less time consuming to type on a mobile keyboard where you have to find the hyphen. That and I used it in that form so many times that it feels less natural to call it yo-yo

Yo-yo is what my autocorrect usually latches onto. Yoyo is how I’ll write it. Sometimes just yo or throw gets the point across. Language is strange.
