I know what it means, and from whence it is derived.

I just don't think the word has a hyphen in it.

Well,you're one up on me, Bob. I hadda go look the word up to find out where it actually came from.

As for the hyphen, I have the utmost confidence that Juulie will post something that will back up her usage of it. I am also confident that I probably won't understand her post when she does so. [/B][/QUOTE]

It was a typo...

No wait... I put in the hyphen in, because I figured no one would understand if I didn't. Yea, that's it, you're all a bunch of cretins...

No wait, that's not nice. Okay, uh, let's see...

oh, yeah, hyphenating the non-syllabic glottal stop is recommended when the speech sounds are more evocative than the air flow of the scintvillication parabola.

Take that Dexter, you greenhorn!!
