    From a quick perusal of the web, it's Control + Alt + hyphen key on a PC. I know on Mac it's Shift + Option + hyphen, but it sounds as though you're using the former.

    Hey Ed,

    You're right, that's frustrating, but it's also good for me to know about these issues. I've been going by the B/R's spelling dictionary (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoTw9Kwt3agydHNHaEc3S0JjcGtWdXd3MU51ZjJxQVE&hl=en#gid=0). I hope that can be a good guide.

    Just signed up for this thing, how hard is it to get accepted as a writer? What sort of thing would you/did you write for your application?

    Sorry about that Ed, we've been slammed. Here's the feedback....Just a few notes on BR's styleguide: numbers under 10 should be spelled out; always hyperlink outside articles/videos as opposed to pasting the URL; should be 30-year-old, or 30 years old; and percent should be spelled out. Much appreciated. AK
