For example, a hyphenation algorithm might decide that impeachment can be broken as impeach‧ment or im‧peachment but not impe‧achment. + +One of the reasons for the complexity of the rules of wordbreaking is that different "dialects" of English tend to differ on hyphenation[citation needed]: American English tends to work on sound, but British English tends to look to the origins of the word and then to sound. There are also a large number of exceptions, which further complicates matters. |
