Actually, lots of labels bestowed by the Simpsons rock, such as this one, that I had made into a license plate frame for my sister's hybrid: "Powered by my own sense of self-righteousness" (see, there's a hyphen there, hence why this is related).<BR/><BR/>But, well, I need to let you know: I'm a recovering hyphen addict. Too much Emily of New Moon growing up or something. Ten years ago, I would have written "re-covering." Or told you that I had to go to a meeting to-morrow. Pretty much any and all prefixes got hyphenated. Somehow, I finally got over it. Oh, I think it was the copy editors in college...LL Blackwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09921100359598254068noreply@blogger.com
