I spent a long time yesterday installing some new software and prepping dinner at the same time - Yes, we can multi-task if we so choose
. Note the use of the hyphen there.
Whilst the installation was taking place there was an on-screen rolling show of various attributes in which I was soon to be wallowing. I've never seen so many hyphenated phrases and rather than keep you in-the-dark, I thought I'd share them; I know you'll feel better for the experience.
I was going to try and construct a sentence with all-included but frankly, life's-too-short, so enjoy...

I imagine if the promo-patter was actually live and in-person it would be accompanied by arm-gesturing quotation marks. Now that would be fun
All the pictures that were displayed along with each scrolling-page showed young, hip-and-trendy creatives until it came to the online tutorial when the picture was that of a frowning, grey-haired woman. You fvcking-ageist-bunch-of-tossers...
I am clearly under-using-the-hyphen and will henceforth amend my ways... NOT!
