From Entertainment Weekly's review of Miss Congeniality 2:
"Sandra Bullock is a cutie. She's also an odd size, by which I mean that her very American onscreen persona � pal/girlfriend, tomboy/glamour-puss, gawky outsider/good-time longneck swigger � requires special care to keep all the pieces in balance. Not surprisingly for such a hyphenate (I'd also add comedienne/tragedienne), Bullock's movies are wildly hit-or-miss affairs..."
"Hyphenate" is an egregious magazine-ism that should almost always be avoided -- but especially when you're your (sheesh!) stylebook doesn't use hyphens.
