Just Use A Bloody Hyphen

hyphen, hyphenation rules

So there I am, innocently reading a book, and come across this word that stops me in my tracks. 

Coopted

Yep, that's it. Google away to your hearts' content. Is it something to do with being locked up in a coop, do you think?

Of course it should be co-opted. Punctuate appropriately or suffer ridicule on the the spike of my pen. Reference my earlier posts on how to punctuate and not appear to be a total thickie:  Speling. and Punctuation' and Shear Ignorance.

Oh, and people are still writing phased when they mean fazed. Stop it.
