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.

*wonders if Lee is joking or not*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... ------------------ "Beliefs are dangerous. Beliefs allow the mind to stop functioning.

Using a hyphen could indeed give visual representation to such matters.

No, I really am in the dark. Must have missed a meeting, or not gotten CC'ed in on a memo.

Well, I should point out that it was UM who bought the Man Train into our lives, so the innocence thing doesn't really apply. It's more "warped evilness".------------------ You know, when Comedy Central asked us to do a Thanksgiving episode, the first thought that went through my mind was, "Boy, I'd like to have sex with Jennifer Aniston." -Trey Parker, co-creator of South Park

I wondered what it was, too. Now, I'm not so sure I wanted to find out, though.Thank you, for filling my mind with that totally disgusting idea. Thank (insert name of desired deity here) I already had dinner. Time to initiate the Purging Protocol.
