Yep - we're pretty much psychotic.
I like that this is such a thing among editors, E&P wrote a story on it.
And the thing is, it's completely true; editors are freaking out over a movie title.
After "correcting" that title of The 40 Year-Old Virgin five or six times on a proof, I finally visited the Web site, realized that was actually how those bastards rolled, and re-corrected the proof.
After reading the E&P article, I asked the other two editors at my office, "Hey, did you guys notice that in The 40 Year-Old Virgin, there's a hyphen -"
"Yes," they said in unison.
(Thanks to Josh for the link.)
P.S. I certainly hope no one plans to boycott this funny, funny movie based on missing hyphens. Because it's, like, totally funny.

I love that my sister is so smart. I would have never in a million years thought twice about the hyphen. Love you kelly...call me with some updates.
That's funny. I like how the article points out that the title sounds like it's referring to a virgin toddler.
Thanks for the link... I need to hang out at E&P some more. There's an article about the upcoming QuarkXPress that made me drool.
This is something I cannot share with many people.
