Damon Davison's use of Google inspired me to try
a variation. I just typed three queries and
got the following number of hits:
Search string Hits
------------- ------
ngram 21,100
ngram not perl 540
n-gram 85,700
This seems to provide overwhelming evidence for
a hyphen between "n" and "gram". Since Google
doesn't distinguish capitals, that leaves the
capitalization question unresolved.
