Good-Bye, Hy-phen


According to a recent story in Reuters the hyphen is being siphoned away from the English language. That's a shame! Who doesn't appreciate a good hyphen now-and-again? Who are these ne'er-do-wells?

My three favorite markings in grammar (in no particular order)...
The emdash.
The semicolon.
The ampersand.
