Apparently, Merriam-Webster's #Dictionary hyphenates the word mm-hmm "used to indicate agreement, satisfaction, or encouragement to continue speaking." I'm wondering how folks at the Chicago Manual of Style and Associated Press feel about that. I'm also curious if or when mm-hmm will go the way of "email" and other previously hyphenated primary spellings.
