    We should do away with hyphens and start using the em dash instead. Cheers and happy weekend!

    No a em dash is a extra long hyphen. Cheers and happy weekend!

    I'm lazy and that key causes me to have to reach my pinky too far.  I have to look over at the keyboard half the time to make sure I am hitting it, and it just is way too much work.  I can stand the one-word hyphens, it's just the multi-word hyphens that make me aggravated.

    How in the heck could there ever be a one-word hyphen?  See, even that sentence has hyphenated words in it.

      No-one ever pays any attention to that stuff, so you aren’t driving any-one in-sane, Pro-fess-or. Waste-of-time.
