Well, so I'm listening to the radio. The announcer reads an ad for the
North Carolina Farm Show, Feb. 2nd through the 4th. He reads this phrase:

Southern National Draft-Horse Pull

But he reads as if it were:

Southern National Draft Horse Pull

His words make it sound as if there is a Southern National Draft.

Who stole my hyphens? May I please have some of them back?
