Subject: Re: De-luxe editions / Hyphenitis
I am now 65 unread MM/JSW emails away from updating my List of MM/JSW Games. I expect to upload the new revision either this weekend or next, and to resume work on JSW64MM: James Bond v1.1 next weekend.

According to The New Oxford Dictionary of English (1998), it's actually spelled "de luxe", so their suggestion would be "De Luxe Edition". Mine would be "De-Luxe Edition", since it is my policy to hyphenate compound noun-modifiers.

IMO, not as cool as "Condescending Footnotes", though I could do something with ghosts, I suppose... but I would prefer to write a room called "Hyphenitis", due-to-my-controversial-love-of-hyphens.
