I love coffee. I drink a couple of cups every morning, and sometimes I’ll have a cup of joe in the evening, too. But my evening indulgence is always decaf. Decaf coffee. In my house, there’s regular (aka, high-test) and decaf coffee. On Yahoo! Shine there’s coffee (which I guess could be regular or decaf) and decaf (which could be coffee, tea, or Diet Coke):
So what will you have? Regular or decaf coffee?
This sentence on the Yahoo! front page is hyphen-free, but it shouldn’t be:

And forget the hyphens: They’re both wrong. There’s no need for one in bona fide or to attach an adjective (low) to a noun (point). It’s just too much.
Oy! Who taught the writer for Yahoo! News how to spell Hanukkah? Oh, right. No one:
