    Lightbulb

    The light bulb thread would go spiraling off topic after somebody questions if "anal-retentive" should be hyphenated! Of course, looking up anal-retentive to see whether it needs a hyphen may be a sign of that particular trait!

    And since this is a family friendly forum, some will complian about the "anal" thing and insist on using "Meticulousness" :butt:

    No real need to question it; my OED indicates it's correctly two words. Everybody else looked it up, too, didn't they? (Didn't they?)

    Since this is a discussion on changing light bulbs should in not've been posted in "Off-Topic"?
