Been there, lived that, agree with you entirely. Use hyphenation and use it
*correctly*, for heaven's sake! No more "You're up-to-date!" but, "An up to
date version..."! Bring back the comma! That unnecessary nanosecond of
double-take really "bugs my head," as we said, back in the day of my lost
youth.

Peeves being extremely idiosyncratic and essentially nonsense, I must add
that dropped apostrophes don't annoy me nearly so much as missing commas do.

Youneverknow.
