Subject: hyphenating triple o's
It is common to separate long strings of vowels by a hyphen to clarify the space between syllables for proper pronunciation. However, like many things this is a stylistic issue and not written in stone, hence the discrepancy in references. For stylistic issues, defer to your employer's/client's preferences, if specified; otherwise choose according to your personal preference.

Subject: advice about hyphenating *two and a half years ago* please
I have tried looking this up on grammar sites and couldn't find anything. I am always wondering if I should hyphenate * two-and-a-half years ago* or if the jury is out on that. Same as *for the past three-and-a-half years...*
