>In that case you are probably beside yourself over 26,000 hyphenated words being struck from the Oxford dictionary. Well, combined into single words or two words. Some of them were really out of date, like ice-cream.

Actually, never liked hyphenated words whenever they meant anything but a combination of, or a joint action of their parts. So as long as icecream was not a mixture of ice and cream, it shouldn't be ice-cream. OTOH, rum-coke is a mix of rum and coke and not a new entity larger than its parts, so it merits a hyphen.
