Singultus or commonly hiccups/hiccoughs
Since hyphen are a written hiccup in a word and because of this most people do not know that there is talk that the Hyphen is going to be eliminated by the oxford dictionary.
Hyphen= Hicccup The rrr = (hour) anna hife= (and a half)
Are you a Scot?
If you are getting these hiccups nightly that is unusual.
Next time Dave get up and grab the top of door frame with your hands and bend your head and body forward.....stretch that toso and make you back arch...that might quiten your Phrenic nerve.
Even babies in utero get them...if they do not stop then there may be medical reasons for them
Personally hyphens are a pain in writing. The probelm with hyphen is they look just like a minus sign and they look like an en-dash and they look like an em-dash (which is longer line than an en-dash). .....who came up with this punctuation stuff ....it is annoying.
At any length forget spellchicker and prime minister....according to Gary K "forum personalities" we are both troglodites and ......proud of it
