Those of us who care about things like proper grammar and style took particular notice when the AP updated its stylebook and dropped the hyphen from “email.”

The problem for bloggers, of course, is that there may be years of posts that utilize the now-verboten hyphen.

(One could say that the offending post was written to the style of that time, but really: Those of us who care about these things don’t want loose ends dangling along with our modifiers, do we?)

The solution: Find and Replacer, my new favorite WordPress plugin. It changed several hundred instances of “e-mail” to “email” in about three seconds.
