Traumatic news came in yesterday that the artist formerly known as Jay-Z has ditched the hyphen and will now be known as Jay Z; the internet was quick to express their emotions at this #dark time.

The Huffington Post wrote a ridiculous obituary for the hyphen, and The Strut wrote a grossly cringe-worthy interview with The Hyphen. And now, a twitter account for the abandoned punctuation has emerged and is personifying grammar to a new level, but it’s actually pretty great so well done, internet, we’ll give you this one:

I miss his laugh

Refresh the jobs section on Craigslist, make a sandwich, listen to 03′ Bonnie & Clyde while crying, repeat…

Once in 1997 me and the hyphens from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony held up a liquor store and escaped the cops. Good times, chill bros.

98 of my problems were caused by Jay Z dropping me, the 99th problem was caused by a Semicolon named Carl and he knows what he did

I always thought Kanye saying ‘Lucky I ain’t had Jay drop him from the team’ was about Kris Humphries, but I guess it’s about me =(
