As long as I'm not paying you to write or paying to read your writing, follow your heart!
Today's lesson was brought to you by the BBC, whose editors suddenly think the hyphen is a magic, one-size-fits-all punctuation.
Yeah, I had to set up a few hot keys to avoid that annoyingly incorrect default.
And as always, I don't care what you do in your personal correspondence. String 10 hyphens in a row if that makes you happy.
Reminder: There are right and wrong ways to punctuate in professional writing. When introducing a parenthetical aside or interjection, use an em-dash ( — ). Hyphens ( - ) join compound words. En-dashes ( – ) indicate numerical range. Multiple hyphens together ( -- ) do nothing.

Former B.C. Mountie Arthur Dalman, who lied under oath, “will avoid jail after being found to have obstructed justice by asking bystanders to delete cellphone footage of the arrest of Dale Culver, a First Nations man who later died in police custody.”
And yes, Natives were unquestionably doing the latter long before a white person ever set foot on the land that became Windsor, N.S.
If the "birthplace of hockey" is the first place an organized (rules and officials) game happened, it's clearly Montreal. If we define it as the first place folks smacked a thing around the ice with sticks, we're going back eons, almost certainly to Europe or Asia. Either way, it ain't Windsor.

A while back, Parker mistook me for a municipal councillor and blocked me when I very politely explained I wasn't interested in defending views I didn't actually hold. So if you're looking for a rational, intellectually worthwhile discussion, you might be wasting your time there.
The people who insist bike lanes are resources wasted on a minority generally live in tiny communities with roads the vast majority of Nova Scotians will never use.
Good morning! Waking up with the New Deal, who put on one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen (at the Marquee, for JazzFest, somewhere in the 1999-2001 range).
