Can you spell that please?

Forget global warming, there may be a hyphen shortage coming. I hope the linotype machines at the Boston Globe are ready for it.

Here is the first of what might be a trend. A Sunday Boston Globe article on perverts unwelcome touchers riding the MBTA began with the name of a person with a double-hyphened triple-surname:

Malikah Fardon-Jones-Finney.

But wait, there’s more!

Ms. Fardon-Jones-Finney has a 12-year old daughter. In 10-15 years, her daughter may well pick up yet another surname and hyphen.

I’m lovin’ it.
