Topic: Hyphen War


  
  Hyphen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soft hyphens are most useful when the width is known but future editability is desired, as few would have the patience to put them in at every place they believed a hyphenated split was acceptable (as would be needed for their meaningful use on a medium like the Web).
When flowing text, a system may consider the soft hyphen to be a point at which a word may be broken, and display a hyphen at the end of the broken line; if the line is not broken at that point the hyphen is not displayed.
Usage of hyphens, as opposed to the slashes used in the English language, is specified for international standards.

 Institutionalizing our demise: America vs. multiculturalism by Roger Kimball   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
These various agents of dissolution are also elements in a wider culture war: the contest to define how we live and what counts as the good in the good life.
Anti-Americanism occupies such a prominent place on the agenda of the culture wars precisely because the traditional values of American identity—articulated by the Founders and grounded in a commitment to individual liberty and public virtue—are deeply at odds with the radical, de-civilizing tenets of the “multiculturalist” enterprise.
The hyphen does not mean “American, but hailing at some point in the past from someplace else.” It means “only provisionally American: my allegiance is divided at best.” (I believe something similar can be said about the feminist fad for hyphenating the bride’s maiden name with her husband’s surname.
