- I still don't know how to properly hyphenate ages. "Forty-two year-old" or "Forty-two-year-old"? Shirley it comes across wrong when I say "I like having sex with forty two year old women."

I think the one with all the hyphens. Unless, of course, you are an infant rapist.

One thing that really annoys me is when people say you can't end sentences with prepositions. Yeah, you can.

Also, people who think that it's incorrect to respond to "How are you?" with "I'm good" are just plain wrong.

 You can end a sentence with a preposition (though I prefer not to). It is WRONG to reply to "How are you?" with "I'm good." You feel well; you are a good person. The words are not interchangeable.
