I hate hyphens. I did a great job botching the narration of Pygmalion today, regressing to the state of a true ass whilst I read.

The paragraph was talking about some room or something, I don't know, I was only reading the words outloud but not really absorbing the information. At the right end of the text, it said "flow-" which instinctively, I read just as that. "Flow". Then I scrolled down and read the next line, which read "-ers".

Here I am, Jay, Hero of the Stupid, I read it just as it was. "Ers". Flow ers. When I realized that some ass hyphened "flowers", after reading it as two words, I felt like slapping my forehead in agony over my small mistake. But instead, I just reserved myself and hurled out an expletive instead. In front of the class.

I also stumbled on the word "too", as if I had never seen the word before. I hate reading out loud.
