In the latest news on the war against the embattled hyphen…

Could the lonely semi-colon be next? In the latest news on the war against the embattled hyphen… According to Tracy Cook @tmcook23: “And on this day (in not-yet history), the @PhillyInquirer dropped the hyphen in "e-mail." What a truly momentous day. #partylikeajournalist

Commas are probably the most misunderstood of all punctuation. They frequently dress in black, listen to sad music, and cut themselves.
