I should learn this ASAP, I'm using hyphens wayyy too often and they're probably wrong most of the time :P

http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/hyphens.asp

 

A good lecture for non-native speakers imo about how to improve writing in English ^_^

    Nice! I wasn't aware of all these rules! As a fellow non-native speaker, I totally agree! :)

     

    ... Damn, sucks that we can't "thumbs up" status updates! :P

    Yeah, they should really add it. I've seen so many status updates I would like.

    @wkdpaul I wasn't either, I found this article while searching for an answer whether to use a hyphen in a specific phrase or not :P

     

    It's something that I use quite often when writing in English and I had no idea there were this many rules and exceptions ^_^ Definitely a must-learn for me. (I assume I used it in a correct way? Rule no.5 applies here I believe :P )

     

    There are even two quizes at the bottom of the page

     

    @Factory OC It's not gonna happen soon though, I've seen mods talking about it and apparently it's not that simple to add those to status updates (as well as editing them) and the feature might come in the future, but not at the moment (IIRC)

    I would believe, but hey, can't wait to see it happen in the future one day.

    As a native English speaker, this language makes no sense, and I don't blame you for being overwhelmed by all the rules.
