Donna Jones wondered: <<I don't know why, but the abbreviation "email" instead of "e-mail" bugs me, though I know that both are common.>>

"Different strokes", and all that. I prefer the hyphenated form; others prefer without. You can make a good case for both, so there's little point arguing over it. Let the unenlightened heathens have their unhyphenated form.

<<So am I totally insane? 8-) (Wait, don't answer that!)>>

Too late. <g>
