[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
From Reuters, something the Buffistas will have an opinion on...
Thousands of hyphens perish as English marches on
ETA: Reading traditional English with more American spellings may make it seem a bit less off-kilter for us USAians. (Or is that "off kilter"? Offkilter?)

I don't know; that list of words that are no longer hyphenated are words that I've never seen hyphenated in the past. I think those were strictly British constructions.
Oh yes, I was assuming the Reuters name would connote the britishness of the story.
ETA: Or is that denote? I'm losing my brain.
Eight days in a row of work, and then on my day off.I had to get up early to hand over a computer I cleaned of viri for a guy... Blecch.

I am so utterly and completely overwhelmed with what I need to take care of over the next few days that I just want to go back to bed.
Very happy that I actually get to see Drew tonight. Missed my sweetie these past ten days, yes I have.
I get to see Joe tonight, too. I haven't seen him since the night I picked him up from the airport. We've been communicating via scribbled notes left on counters.
I just checked a tracking number and DHL tried to deliver a package at 8:30 this morning. Dammit. Hopefully they will try again at the end of their route.
I would call DHL and ask them to re-attempt and then call Joe and let him know. He must not have heard the doorbell.
FedEX also tried to deliver. I'm gonna call Joe and have him pull the door tags and call.

Yeah, I noticed when I saw a list of the differences between the English and American versions of Harry Potter that a good number of the "changes" were simply the loss of a hyphen.
Joe was awakened by the doorbell for one of them. He is getting the sticker and calling to try to have it rescheduled. The sticker says the next attempt will be on Monday.
I have directed him to call and try to reschedule for later today.

Reuters is British?
....I am a crappy, crappy journalism major. I seriously didn't know that.
