    How do you pronounce the hyphen in double barrelled names?

      The hyphen can provide indicators on how to parse the letters on either side. “Pen-Island” would be pronounced differently from “Penisland.”

        There’s a guy I follow on the internet called “penusbmic”, and he claims it’s supposed to mean “Pen, USB, Mic”.

        Whatever you say, Penus B. Mic.
