This just in from Reuters Oddly Enough: doom, doom, doom. As predicted in the bible. They’re killing off the hyphens!

The latest edition of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary has changed cry-baby to crybaby. Oh, the shame of it.

We at the schplog are mystified, horrified and deep-fried. Oh-no, we re-mark pitifully! And woe betide will-o’-the-whisp, cat-o’-nine-tails, tam-o’-shanter and the myriad words of that ilk. Dash-it-all!

Just for that, no posting to-morrow!
