[12:05:42] <fyngyrz> Bytram, changed "Born" to "Borne" in "Targeting Blood Born Cancer Cells with Laser Beams" story title.

[12:12:48] <Bender> karma - fyngyrz: 14
[12:12:55] <Bytram> great catch!
[12:16:45] <Bytram> fyngyrz: Hmmm, on second thought, should that be "Blood-Borne Cancer Cells" ??
[12:44:16] <fyngyrz> It's a headline, so can be either way
[12:44:36] <fyngyrz> Blood-Borne is typical for medical usage though
[12:44:53] <fyngyrz> I"m not sure about the capitalization with the hyphen, either
[12:45:18] <fyngyrz> as two words, you'd use two caps... so I left it that way
[13:42:26] <Bytram> fyngyrz: Yes, I've wavered on capitalization of hyphenated words in a title. I lean strongly towards "Blood-Borne" over "Blood-borne", though I could argue it either way, my view is that they would be capitalized if they were individual words and the intent of capitalization in a title would be that removing the uncapitalized words should give the gist of the material discussed.
