I always think how clumsy they sound when someone wants to do some radio or TV advertising, or say their domain over the phone. We were just talking to Mel at Sea-s-Ta about this issue this week, her domain is sea-s-ta.com.au. So on the phone it sounds like sea hyphen s hyphen ta dot com dot au. What's even more interesting is some languages, like Italian, doesn't even have a word for hyphen.
