your rite I mean you're wright I mean You're Right!!!

You hit on my biggest pet peeve- the misuse or lack of use of the hyphen in marketing- if you say "year round" it says (in bad grammar)

noun, verb

so did the year round something? the hyphen makes it an adjective (or some other grammatical term that stops making it a verb).

I was thinking the same as Sheila. Isn't the word "round" in this case, slang for the word "around"?
When you drop letters, you insert an apostophe.

One of the things we make at work is a sign that says "Take'N a Break" and also a sign that says "Gone Fish'N". Both wrong, of course. I cringe whenever I see them. That's what they get for not asking me!

It's "Gone Fishin' " or "Fish 'N Chips"
