Or: Hyphenating hyphenates.
Say you're dating someone online. You're having an e-mail-intensive relationship. Yeah, so, that double hyphen? How does that even work? Or does it?
I realize there's an Internet Age section or whatever in the Stylebook now, but I don't know whether it addresses the Awkward Double Hyphen Dilemma (haha ... ADHD!).
Just ordered a 2007 edition (referred to on the Web site as The Journalist's "Bible," and I'm not sure why "Bible" has to be in quotes).
For six months, I've been Stylebook-less. It feels like forgetting your wallet — you feel naked, exposed and very likely to misuse a dateline.
