You're trying to con me into going "WHHOOOOOOOSHHHHH" back but it ain't gonna work :D

The other people who kindly explained it to me in umost detail, however, I will say WHHOOOOOSHH to :D

It's just like you don't need to put "On-line", you just put "online" nowadays (unlike someone who posted the "On-Line clothes" thread).
Yup. Words which originally were added together and hypenated appropriately now no longer need hyphening because it's not necessary, and also it sounds smoother.

It's all about clarity...if there's a common understanding, let the language flow - don't modify it unnecessarily :)
