#Hyphen

Hyphen at first was mesmerized by the GLOWING pumpkin, but then turned to notice the spider creeping up behind her JUST IN TIME! (Photos I took several years ago which never got posted... until now!)

Hello again gang.

rate my music taste.

Anyone know articles or videos or just have some ability to infodump in the reblogs about hyphens and the (seeming?) decline of hyphenated words in English?

Like there are some really obvious ones like "e-mail" becoming "email". Indeed most e-anything dropped the hyphen. That seems like it could just be society becoming more familiar with it, and using the word more often and dropping it to save a keystroke. But it seems to me that I am always having to tell my spellchecker to accept non-hyphenated versions of compound words, because the hyphenated version just does not look right. This post was spurred by the FF spellchecker claiming it should be "re-implemented" not "reimplemented". As a computer person, the hyphenated version looks absurd.

Of course spellchecker dictionaries aren't always the best, but on occasion if you look it up Merriam-Webster.com or whatever you will find the same sort of thing. Not for "reimplemented" of course you just get the base word "implement" but I have seen other cases where they give a hyphenated version not the unhyphenated.

And, if you look at like newspapers from like, the 30s or something, it seems like you see hyphens all over the place. Like sometimes they hyphenate "to-day" and I don't mean just for a line break. What's up with that?

This is good and all, and talks about familiarity, but is it just that that is driving it? And familiarity wouldn't seem to be the case for weird stuff like sometimes hyphenating "to-day". Especially since it seems like they didn't always do it.

"Flipped Out"

Two headed or Two-headed?

Still has the Gum Dingers on the counter. I can't decide one way or the other of there is obscuring of a part of the logo.

every time i see someone spell spider-man without the hyphen, an angel dies.

Hyphen's Butt in the Skeleton's Lair (A photo I took several years ago which I might possibly have posted already but I couldn't find it so I think it might have gotten missed.)

(Update, actually I DID post this one, before, but there are some others from the same skull-fabric-background photoshoot that DIDN'T get posted so I will post those. It is annoying that if you add "too many" tags a post tagged with "halloween" won't appear in the collection that is supposed to show all posts with that tag which you can find by going to hamsters-in-cups/tumblr.com/tagged/halloween If the tag isn't one of the first ones, the post doesn't show up so some of my halloween posts don't appear in this post's link (although this one does... twice now))

Art dump. making up for doing nothing for months. lol.

considerably longer than most of my posts.

This one was for a one shot of Hunter: The Reckoning I did with some friends. Reed was my character

the one on the right is Astra from Hyphen. Very nice story with the dumbest names when you realize what it means :) you can find it with this handy dandy link: here

I made this a year ago and only now realized that the tail is missing goddamnit

Onto renders n' stuff

i don't know what compiled me to make this but i felt it in my soul.

my real living room

is this getting me doxxed? anyways anytime i get my hand on a model that is easy to port to blender i just have to do something like this. TASTE THE SUN

i don't remember what game this model comes from, its defiantly not from the more recent games because the textures are way to flat and lack any about of perceived depth. if you don't know what im talking about just play legends arceus and look at the "grooves" in garde's hair. wait, thats my computer.

surprise, gmod renders

[yesterdays-xkcd]

I do this constantly

Kira: You have some... unmatched energy, I’d say... Good choice of book too...

Kira: I know, it’s not as impressive as some big dragon’s hoard of gold or whatever - please don’t drool in my hand... but it’s something I have a lot of! I love myself a good old fashioned brawl without moves. One of my friends hoards game controllers, you should see his collection!

"Sitter Titter"

As distinct from this, the AP Stylebook has it as a hyphen, "baby-sit," in the verb form and in the noun form a separation, "baby sitter".
