alright, all you party people in the house, take note of my syntax:

when i use the underscore or "_" symbol it's in lieu of what i'd
normally UNDERLINE in a full-blown wordprocessor, because the
bare-bones nature of google's posting mini-app doesn't allow it.  when
i want to emphasize the word "duh", i'll type an underscore before and
after, e.g. _duh_.  when i want to interject a thought within a
sentence -- like this -- then i use the hyphen symbol.

i'm starting to see more and more so-called journalists using the
underscore instead of the hyphen symbol and thereby confusing my
carefully considered system of syntax.  besides, it's driving me up the
wall and it must stop.  if you refuse to stop the underscore-for-hyphen
nonsense despite my reasonable request, any goldfish you may or may not
have in your possession will be eaten alive

(p.s. i was thinking of adding a goldfish rape threat in there, but i'm
afraid senator man-on-dog will then be obsessing over man-on-sushi
sexual abnormalities for years henceforth.  poor thing has enough to
worry about these days and i'm not that cruel, you know.)
