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.

Among my future JSW plans is a re-release of "Jet Set Willy: Mind
Control" and "Willy's Hoard" with loading screens. I do not plan to
change anything in the games themselves, just to add the loading
screens and change the names of "Program" and "Bytes". I am
planning to call each of these new releases a "Deluxe Edition",
or "DeLuxe Edition" - I'm not sure which is better.

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.

Blimey - I never expected this comment to come back to haunt me
over four years later! :-o

Could this be a good idea for a room name? Something along the
lines of "Condescending Footnotes", of course...
"Haunting Comments" - how does that sound? :-)

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.
