[net.unix-wizards] nroff hyphenation bug

DWIGHT@BRL.ARPA (12/18/85)

My (Uniplus Version 7) Unix "nroff" generates the following
hyphenations:

	circu-itry
	mark-et (it gets tar-get right)

and "spell" never heard of the word:

	misspell

Interesting...
I think I can figure out how to fix spell, but I don't know
what one does with the hyphenations (except play with .hy).

Easy. RTFM. Just add
.hw cir-cuit-ry		(or whatever your favourite hyphenation is)
.hw mar-ket

to the beginning of your nroff file.
