What the actual f-

uck is up with th-

e hyphenation?

[–] Dumbkid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Looks like tex formatting, they want each line to be the same width, so the badness value for hyphens must have been less than just using bigger spaces, which they also did

This explanation sounds very reasonable, and it makes me feel even more disgusted.

Have you never read a single thing of print media ever? Books, newspapers, and magazines have been hyphenating words to keep uniform blocks of text for over 5 centuries
