The fewer hyphens the better

RT @APStylebook:

Our gen­er­al advice: The few­er hyphens the better.
Use them only when not using them caus­es con­fu­sion. Think of hyphens as an aid to read­er­s’ com­pre­hen­sion. If a hyphen makes the mean­ing clear­er, use it. If it just adds clut­ter and dis­trac­tion to the sen­tence, don’t. #APStyleChat
