Weekend ou Week-end?

Jeffrey B.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

I asked about this previously & the answer that was given was that both spellings were acceptable with the hyphenated spelling more widely used. But in the text of this lesson the first sentence uses "week-end" & the last sentence uses "weekend". At the very least wouldn't the convention be to use the same spelling throughout a composition unless directly quoting another written piece?

This question relates to:French dictation exercise "The Fest-Noz"
