You see, because it is a lone film rather than part of a trilogy, DominicCobb was making a little play on words.

Yes, but it should be dash (—) in that case, not hyphen (-).

 You are half right but mostly wrong. It was never a hyphen (and I almost said as much but I'm not into grammar correcting like some people [you] so I didn't), it was always a dash. In case you're unaware, there are two types of dashes, em dash and en dash. Em dash is longer but has no spaces like en dash. In case you still can't figure it out, I used the en dash.

Well technically you used hyphen. You can compare below.

hyphen (-)
en dash (–)
em dash (—)
the symbol you typed (-)

But don't worry we forgive you.

Do you think Disney will release the unaltered versions for DVD and blue ray?

We think Disney will not restore theatrical versions and release them in a higher resolution format.

Canada

 You forgot "Team," and you don't speak for Canada.  They told us so.

Team Olie

I am their ambassador on the internet. The position is permanent and irreversible.

My question is why is there a hyphen in between in-between, when that is supposed to only be present when acting as a noun or adjective, not as a preposition as you have used it?

;)

You are witnessing linguistic drift in real time. ;)

My apologies to the Canadians for forgeting Canada Day.

Apology not accepted.

 On behalf of Warb, and Canada, I'd just like to say thanks for not accepting something you don't deserve.

No, I was speaking on behalf of Canada.

 I'm offended on Canada's behalf.

I guess I offended you on Canada's behalf.
