Re: [ia-55] Dash vs. Underscore

Its a major SEO improvement to use dashes over underscores. Computers see underscores as part of a word, where as dashes are not. For Example, my_file is seen as one word by the computer, where as my-file is seen as two separate words, my and file. Its especially useful for naming image files.

You wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a hyphenated word and two separate words. I think this is a pretty minor detail but in some industries it might be important. Particularly if there is a serial number convention that uses dashes.
