For reference, what is popular opinion on how one would conduct (m4s70r punn4g3) the punctuation of the Man Train?
Of these, which is it:
Man train Man Train man train man Train mantrain manTrain Mantrain ManTrain Man-train Man-Train man-train man-Train man-Train
When I first used it, I was using the standard double caps format (Man Train). But I've seen it in many different variations.
Um. I apologize profusely. Really.

Personally, I write it as "man train", or the occasional "Man Train". But no hyphen. The man train has enough things of that shape already, w/o adding more...

Using a hyphen could indeed give visual representation to such matters. A Free-Body diagram, if you will.
