today I ran across the word "hyphen" used in a way I had never seen before. I was visiting the Woodstock, VT Historical Society Museum prior to a performance there, and the caption of a picture read something like this:
"the barn and main house were joined by a hyphen in 1943"...

what was meant was a long, low building joining the two previous structures. my OneLook search netted a whole lot of punctuation marks, but no buildings.
what say the board?
