    Ironic that there’s a grammatical error in the headline… 6th-grade levels, surely

      77% of Americans write below 9th grade-levels, and hyphens are taught as an elective.

      The great journalism of “Homeless Romantic” has really been in decline.

      This is all just a simulation.

        If it were a simulation or real what would be the difference? I mean if you could replicate the titanic down to the atom you effectively have the original. Same philosophical “problem” with teleportation of a human being.

      The hyphen goes between grade and levels. Confidently incorrect.

          Quite a few pictures. Most of them troll pictures.

        You hyphenate the words acting as an adjective, I e. Two-gun kid, not two gun-kid

          One might also hyphenate compound nouns. Depending on context, “two gun-kids” could be correct–though it seems unlikely.

          Also, in this case you should use e.g. (not i.e.). No big deal though, I knew what you meant.
