The Technicality

Using-hyphens-like-this-is-a-way-of-gaming-the-system. Despite being widely practised, such devices are not in the spirit of fairness, and should be discouraged. Playing by the rules, whatever the result, is much better than winning by a technicality.

  4. I can see the voice of this passage sitting up straight with their purse in their lap riding in the passenger seat of a car. The straight and narrow wins once more. Good piece.

  6. Great humor, with a message. In any game played, I would agree that a win by following rules is much sweeter than a win by technicality :)

  7. Very funny. (Except you forgot to include an actual compound modifier. Or was that the point?)
    Still funny.
