"I don't think it`s a matter of dumbness at all. According to OED(in the article) compound-adjectives seem to be getting more hyphens. It`s the compound-nouns that are losing their hyphens."
Taitano I agree with you completely on this point but I disagree with this. "It`s nothing to panic about, just the shifting of symbol usage. I`m more worried about the prolification of lolspeak and l337sp34k. *shudder*"
Personally Im more worried about the spread of ebonics and "thugspeak". Atleast people who use lolspeak and 1337 know it`s a joke.
