Very late in-to this thread. Well, all of them ac-tu-ally. I have-n't been here in weeks. Any-way, where in the blue blazes did any-one get the no-tion that you could leg-i-ti-mate-ly in-tro-duce a hy-phen into a word which has nev-er been graced by one in the past? I de-tect the fell hand of Whit-man O'-Neill here, I do.My hand has been called a lot of things before, Cap, but never "fell".   And I've never been to the Blue Blazes, is it nice there?  EDIT: Dunno why I didn't do this before...but hub-bub, with the hyphen, gets 5,720 hits on Google, so it ain't just me an' TEd, folks!

Hubbub, without the hyphen, gets 61,600, so it might as well be just you and TEd.

It just occurred to me that we need a name for this new "science" of looking things up on Google and comparing numbers of hits for some kind of democratic opinion of things. I propose Googology.

Googology seems to be already taken and relates to the number googol. (YCLIU) Googlology might could be a better term. You might wanna see what these guys have to say about it. http://www.googlology.info/2003/01/15.html

It's called democrat, JuanOh, so the majority is always "right" or "good" in a Democracy? See Aristotle! Mebbe the majority rules, but. However, invalidating whole groups of people just because they're in the minority is at least aristocracy, if not downright fascistic. 60,000 use hubbub and close to 6,000 use hub-bub...those are the clear facts, the reality...deal with it.

Oh, OK, Juan. You're not invalid. Just wrong.
