Goodbye, Sweet E-mail Hyphen: We'll Always Have -----

~

And so it goes.

​On March 18, 2011, the small straight line between "e" (for electronic) and "m" (for mail) finally gave up the ghost after a long struggle with trying to remain relevant in a society that wishes nothing more than to kill all that is pointless and protuberant, or that which makes us think too much, or that which takes up a space without that space being merited.

Many thought that the dash had died long ago. But those who could remember the dash -- which isn't a dash at all! -- remembered its proper name, Hyphen, and perhaps even would speak to it casually in passing, doffing a cap -- oh, hey Hyphen! (Hy to his friends).
