You are jesting on the irony comment aren't you? I do find it ironic (and typical of our language) that non-hyphenated IS hyphenated.

Simmons - There's a contest in the making. How many doubles can you get into one sentence?

Deb - They mess up EVERYTHING!

Kathy - I totally agree. And once they do have a grasp of it, trying to understand puns.

Yeah, the English language is fairly insane.

Enjoying your blog, Mike.
Keep a smile.
