Subject:About anal-retentive... From:Michael Andrew Uhl <uhl -at- VISLAB -dot- EPA -dot- GOV> Date:Fri, 14 Mar 1997 14:04:08 -0800
I have an editing question about "anal-retentive"...
and a comment....
Is "anal-retentive" really supposed hyphenated?
And, does this term give new meaning to the phrase,
"Hold that thought"?
Inquiring minds want to know.
...I couldn't resist. Sorry Eric.
