holiday dorking

[lo5an]

I'm at home being sick instead of out doing exciting things, so, naturally, it's time for some lj posts.

Earlier this week, I meandered through a few punctuation related Wikipedia articles:

• Dash,
• Hyphen,
• Hyphen War

I like using hyphens for compounds. Honestly, I probably like over-using them. I'm sad to find out that hyphen use is down 5%. Come on

"Holiday dorking" sounds dirty

I am very proud of you for finally updating your lj, although I'm naturally sad that you are sick and not "doing exciting things." :P

My poor injured tongue and I are jealous of your glue sticks (and yes, I realize that was a very strange sentence, but I'm assuming you'll remember what I'm referencing).

I'm thinking that you might not want to use restickable glue stick for envelopes...

I <3 logan!

lets hang out soon, when I have an idea of the future and have finished family/grad school apps.

Definitely!

I have to admit, I'm apparently oblivious of when to use hyphens for compound words. On several occasions when I've asked my partner to look over my papers, he finds words that should be hyphenated.

I do have a soft spot for em dashes, though.

Hi Logan =)
Hope you are feeling well.
The Hyphen War wickipedia article was very interesting.

I hope your Spanish class is as good as you'd anticipated.
