The importance of proper punctuation – CSS Wizardry

Written by Harry Roberts on CSS Wizardry.

This is a short (and cheeky) post on the necessity of using proper punctuation
– particularly the hyphen – and how it can completely alter the
meaning of your sentence, often with ill effect. This morning, for one reason or
another, I was reminded of a conversation I had with
@nofunnyname last week on the subject of him
buying a car. He said:

I need to get an old ass banger.

So, is that ‘old-ass banger’, or ‘old ass-banger’? You decide 😉
