The whole hyphen thing makes very little difference. Whether they are in there or not, the sentence does not read any different. In your example of Your family is here as opposed to Your family are here, I would definitely use the former because the latter sounds stupid. I go more by how it reads than whether there's a freakin hyphen somewhere. Not to mention, a lot of time if I'm doing ASR, I don't worry as much about the whole hyphen vs. no hyphen. Does it read OK and make sense? Good enough.
Do I think I'm perfect? Hardly. And I'm not an English major. But considering how one QA will add hyphens and the next time you do it, a different QA will take them out, I think we need to stop making it a big deal.
