 	<p>I do agree with some of these, but I also ultimately feel that people can and should do whatever they want with their website.  Doing so adds a personal touch to each website, they don't all need to be the same.  Vale's guidelines are great suggestions for creating URLs that are easily understood and shareable.  But I do disagree with some of the guidelines and I wanted to share why I disagree.</p>
 	<h2>Hyphens, Not Underscores</h2>
-	<p>Underscores do require an extra and awkward keypress to type, but they are a useful symbol.  I use hyphens AND underscores in my file and directory names, because they each represent a different function in a joined string of characters.  Underscores join strings of characters into a single string, and hyphens separate strings from each other.  This is useful if you are selecting text with a mouse and only want to select a specific string, or to visually separate different concepts in a file name, such as the date and title of a file.</p>

 	<p>For example, all of my mix files include the name of the collection, the date, and occasionally the time it was recorded.  If I want to copy the text of the name, I can double click to select that underscored string.  I would have to click and drag if the words were hyphenated.  Of course clicking and dragging the cursor isn't a big deal, but a double click is more efficient than clicking and dragging.  Use the following text to try selecting strings of underscored and hyphenated text:</p>
 	<p>Underscored: <code>date_string-title_string-other_string</code></p>
 	<p>Hyphenated: <code>date-string-title-string-other-string</code></p>
