Are We Too Hyphenated?
I had a lovely conversation with an older gentlemen last weekend about the state of our world and our country. He made the point that, in his opinion, the most divisive thing in our English language is the hypen.
We’re African (hyphen) Americans, Mexican (hyphen) Americans, Republican-Americans, Democrat-Americans, etc… What if we saw ourselves and one another as AMERICANS first? How might our conversations change? We are, afterall, one nation under God.
