A while ago I had the idea to express some old sayings in a silly, geeky way, using code and logic to express logically, the meaning behind some well known phrases. I got Illustrator fired up last night and decided to finally got a few made. They’re kind of obvious really, even a non-developer brain can make sense of them, and deciphering the saying is pretty simple, but I think they’re cool nonetheless.

This is a short (and cheeky) post on the necessity of using proper punctuation—particularly the hyphen—and how it can completely alter the meaning of your sentence, often with ill effect. This morning, for one reason or another, I was reminded of a conversation I had with @nofunnyname last week on the subject of him buying a car. He said:
“I need to get an old ass banger.”
So, is that ‘old-ass banger’
, or ‘old ass-banger’
? You decide ;)
