Yeah, that's what I was quoting above.  However, with drive-thrus (at least
here in Florida), the public does not have any right of access whatsoever.

I'm not aware of any hyphens which are converted into underscores, let alone
that this is "predominantly" the case.  And even if it is "predominantly"
