Sorry Nano! It is actually the different types of kisses. The ones your grandmother gives you, first date, a friend etc.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Heh :)

This is the internet.

And I am a hyphen-nut. My beloved horizontal is right here on my qwertyuiop - it is superior to the _ and forever more will be.
All the best!

The editor at my paper always make the corrections from "email" to "e-mail" and "website" to "Web site" based on a style manual. We'll see if any of this percolates down... We also have to capitalize "Dumpster" because its a brand name I guess, which seems ridiculous.

Formerly hyphenated words split in two:

Formerly hyphenated words unified in one:

pigeonhole

I think it much more to do in saving ink than any-thing-else.

Well, I'm keeping the one in my last name, thank you very much. Adn the amount of ink saved in the full printings of every edition of War and Peace probably wouldn't print one newspaper for a week.

I'm not impressed.
