maybe the problem is with the speech; some hyphens belong in the middle of
words, e.g., mother-in-law; and although many words that used to be hyphenated
are now combined. Unfortunately, off the top of my head I can't think of
examples, but when I do a spell check, the combined word sometimes show up as
errors; I have to check the print book to see if the word is hyphenated or
combined, and if it is hyphenated I put in the hyphen. Making one word out of
what used to be ahyphenated word id a fairly recent phenomenon
