Alice Cooper has one of the best stage shows ever!

Forever banished. Oh, and that use of the hyphen is correct.


HYPHEN IS NOT A HYPHENATED WORD.


Beatles had some great songs, but I agree that as a whole they got weird. Elvis is ALL amazing.

Thank you I really needed to know about the hyphen, in case I have to e-mail my childs school, I won't look too stupid.

Just don't use one in place of a dash and you'll be okay.

I have never seen him live. We lived a few blocks from an open air stadium that was used for concerts, So heard many bands live from the porch, but didn't get to actually see them. Of course, the porch was free!!

I like it too, it's really cute, but I am not sure why, because I don't know what it means!

Hyphen, En dash, and Em dash all wonderful tools

The em dash is a forgotten piece of punctuation. Even grammar sites are now mistakenly publishing en dashes in their place.

Use 'em right, then

The technically illicit double- and triple-taps on the hyphen to create the dashes are what most use since copying and pasting them is a pain.
