No, not that. For example: "I rode my bike-mindful again of its terrible lightness on the hills-out to visit wih Lucas." My question is ... can the hyphens be used as a substitution for commas or is their usage different? Alan Dear Sorelle,

Good Morning. No, not that.

For example:

“I rode my bike-mindful again of its terrible lightness on the hills-out to visit wih Lucas.”

My question is … can the hyphens be used as a substitution for commas or is their usage different?

Alan

Alan, what exactly are you referring to with regards to hyphens - their placements within words, such as “one-tracked”?

I would appreciate a lesson on the use of the hyphen in sentence construction. I use it sparingly when I think I am using it correctly, but I am never quite sure frankly. Thank you. I remain, Very Sincerely Yours, Alan D. Busch Dear Sorelle,

Some very good reminders!

I would appreciate a lesson on the use of the hyphen in sentence construction. I use it sparingly when I think I am using it correctly, but I am never quite sure frankly.

Thank you.

I remain,

Very Sincerely Yours,
