Why do they insist on using only some of the punctuation? Anyone having trouble with this one, the contraction requires an apostrophe, and the two three letter words in the first name require a hyphen between them. No other punctuation. Oh and look at the the creators name for a big clue.
[7] It seems that as long as the punctuation doesn't touch the floor, it is left in. Periods, question marks, etc. left out, hyphens and apostrophes are in. Not sure what that is all about, but that's the way it seems to go most often.
[11] I think the reason for that is that if you leave out the punctuation in part of the words then the word itself isn't spelled correctly.
IMO, any puzzle with any sort of punctuation whatsoever gets at least a few boos and hisses, since so many people have so many differing opinions on what punctuation should and should not be included.
[13] I believe if it's in the answer, it needs to be in the puzzle either as a gimme between parts or having it's own clue. Or else we're all waiting for someone to find the "proper" hyphens, commas, etc.

[13] the only puzzle punctuation i see getting boos and hisses are ones that have wrong punctuation. or incomplete punctuation like this one. Either use all the punctuation or none at all. This puzzle would have been fine with absolutely no punctuation.
[15] yeah, I toiled over the punctuation on this one. Hopefully, the hyphen and apostrophe didn't screw anyone up too badly!! :) I figured the semi-colon might have been a bit much.

[8], I left that out since the hyphenated name and the contraction are already there.
