From the American Copy Editors Society annual meeting, Katie Antonsson covers a session led by copy editor Bill Walsh of the Washington Post, who discusses twenty "rookie mistakes that even veterans make" in their copy. An example: "'Hyphens are a contentious subject,' Walsh said, 'and I am more likely to use them than most people, but it’s perfectly reasonable to omit a hyphen.' A town hall meeting, a high school friend are perfectly sufficient without a hyphen."
