    The examples are too numerous to quote (but I'll include a few anyway):
    
        extra-polation
        scal-phunters
        war-mup
        servi-cemen
    
    Most newspaper typesetting programs have special hyphenation memories, 
    so once the word is hyphenated correctly (and entered into memory)
    it will come out right the next time.
    
    The trick is to get it entered correctly the first time around!
                                        
    -bs
    
      

    ...then when you run decspell, it treats each half of the hyphenated
    word as as seperate entity and stops...

    Here's one from the CompuGraphic EditWriter 7500:
    
    	butterf-ly
    
    
    				-- edp

This isn't hyphenated, and I doubt it was automatic (I know, so
why am I replying to this note?) but it certainly looks odd to see,
on the title page of the Guide to VAX DEC/Test Manager:
    
    This manual describes the concepts, commands, and features of VAX DEC
    /Test Manager.

I suppose the real question is why they chose to stick the slash in
between "DEC" and "Test" in the first place.

    Hello out there!
    
    It's holiday time (or is it vacation time?). and I planned to go
    through all of the JOYOFLEX. It's been a while since this topic
    has got any reply, so I guess I may give it a try.
    
    This topic is something where a lot of German examples could be
    given, but here is an English one I ran into last week.
    
    Can anyone tell me what the meaning of the word "cated" is? I found
    it with a lot of prefixes in some text. I'll explain:
    
    "ducated" - twice cated
    "reducated" - cated for a third time (second one didn't help...)
    "dereducated" - third cation (?) undone (guess it didn't have the
                    desired effects...)
    "undereducated" - must be something like: "the effects of the undoing
                      of the third cation were not visible"
    
    You know: foreign languages is no trouble at all: as soon as you
    know some root words, you can derive most of the rest -^).

    Horrors are too numerous to mention. The one that actually
    made me laugh was `leg-end'.

    I actually saw psychothe- rapist in my local paper this week.  I
    thought all (English-language) hyphenation routines had a special
    for "therapist"!

    I have always wondered how you ork a cow (as in cow-orkers).

    
    Automation has opened up a whole new field of unemployment.
    
    We often wonder if automation will ever replace the taxpayer!
    
    It's true that auotmation creates new jobs. It takes more people to
    correct the mistakes.
    
    Another advantage of auotmation is that the machines don't take time
    out for coffee breaks.
    
    Automation is man's effort to make work so easy that women can do it.

    Put a note there with "Automation" in the title and he'll do it.

re: .9

take it with ya and don't let the door hit you on the butt on your way out.

    Mister Moore was a "hit and run" noter -- he posted a series of
    unoriginal, provocative notes on a series of topics, then disappeared.
    
    His "contributions" reflected (in one noter's opinion) a severe case
    of arrested emotional development.  However, since he hasn't been
    around for quite some time, very few cycles get wasted on refuting his
    puerile "insights."
