punctuation service announcement

[spacellama]

When you have an adverbial phrase modifying a noun, you don't need to hyphenate. In fact, it's wrong to insert a hyphen after the adverb, so

"tightly-clenched fist"

should always be

"tightly clenched fist."

Over-hyphenation seems to be a fad right now, like jargony invented verbs were a few years back. Oh, well.

And now back to your regular

We're slowly reverting back to Germanic?

[szibarita]

Dang...I love hyphens, especially when reading something written by a British person. I'll have to investigate further.

[lissas_elves]

thank you for the service message. XD

I just ran my latest through Lia's wonder tool and checked for dangling modifiers; this will be next.

Sounds like you're busy editing atm. Isn't Sunday supposed to be your day off?

[sierraphoenix]

Heh heh, oops. I think I'm probably guilty of this one. ;)

Love your icon, btw!
