Oooooooooooh! Geek-pique! Like, I'm soooooooo im-pressed!
What's with the megillah? You wanna know why I use hyphens?
It's simple: sometimes when grown-ups transcribe exotic
languages, they use hyphens to emphasize bound morphemes
while maintaining the integrity of the word-unit. Like, it
makes them easier to look up. Think of it as a quantum
state thing: the word's separate, but together. Also
think of it as a stylistic difference, and nothing that a
pooh-bah need putz around with.
