Kids gonna go nuts every time he has to deal with any forms that get entered on a computer. Y'see, most input routines won't *accept* that character in a text field such as name.
A friend had quite a go-round with a local convention. They insist that you enter your legal name on the form (they have reason, as it's an "adult" event and they need to check ID).
But the online registration setup won't accept hypens. And since she has a hypenated last name...
She isn't the only one. And the folks running it don't consider it a problem. Arrgh.
