I get irritated when people put hyphens in ages like “he is 38-years-old” but so many people do it that I don’t say anything. I just don’t read any further. Like that lady who writes what seem to be intelligent and well-thought-out comments but insists on saying b/c instead of because. I just won’t read past that point. If you want people to read what you write, care about how you write it.

Right: He is a 38-year-old.

Right: He is 38 years old.

Wrong: He is 38-years-old.

BTW: “Everyday” does NOT mean “every day.”

BTW: There is no such word as “alright.”
