> Do you hyphenate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? If so, where?
Yes. Not only that, but my husband, children, and dogs hyphenate,
too. We are militant about it; we don't even take phone calls from
people who don't respect our hyphenation practices.
We put the hyphen between the two halves of our last name. (None of
us has a hyphenated first or middle name, though I have seen names
like this.) We are hyphenated 24 hours a day; you could say we are
24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week, 365-days-a-year hyphenaters.
