I'm not sure what book or what hyphens you are talking about, but the Elements of Style is in the public domain. Here are some links for you: http://www.bartleby.com/141/ specifically http://www.bartleby.com/141/strunk.html#8 http://www.cs.vu.nl/~jms/doc/elos.pdf There are other resouces available on the web. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_hyphen.html http://lingua.kie.utu.fi/dbergen/AAW/Lesson%205/punctuation1.htm etc. I would think that any "poorly done" english documentation is better than none, and people might help to fix documentation more than they would strive to write it. Getting started is always hardest... regards, Chris
