Hyphen?

[Molly]

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that Sasha Grenier-Pokulok now goes by Sasha Pokulok?

[Greg Berge]

It has a great cadence.

"SA sha PO KO luk" clap clap clapclapclap.

[Jordan 04]

But "Grenier-Pokulok" has such a great uniform.

They must have told him we have a no-hyphen policy, just like no Murphy and no #13. :-P

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Just wait till the Harvard (sucks) game:

Hyphen...no hyphen
Hyphen...no hyphen

as infinitum

Imagine if Sasha had Spanish blood and it was a traditional family. How would you fit Sasha Grenier Pokuluk de Arroyo on a jersey?

[mki98]

what kind of topic is this ?

[CowbellGuy]

The hyphen-discussing kind. Ooh, look. A hyphen.

[Beeeej]

Frankly, I prefer em-dashes, but I've always enjoyed the irony that one needs a hyphen to spell "em-dash."

Wouldn't that make him a married woman?

Oops, back to punctuation 101 for you.  The en-dash is longer than a hyphen but shorter than an em-dash.

Leave this to the professionals. Or Microsoft Word.
