End-Of-Line Hyphenation of Chemical Names (IUPAC Provisional
Pure Appl. Chem. 2020; aop IUPAC Recommendations Albert J. Dijkstra*, Karl-Heinz Hellwich, Richard M. Hartshorn, Jan Reedijk and Erik Szabó End-of-line hyphenation of chemical names (IUPAC Provisional Recommendations) https://doi.org/10.1515/pac-2019-1005 Received October 16, 2019; accepted January 21, 2020 Abstract: Chemical names and in particular systematic chemical names can be so long that, when a manu- script is printed, they have to be hyphenated/divided at the end of a line. Many systematic names already contain hyphens, but sometimes not in a suitable division position. In some cases, using these hyphens as end-of-line divisions can lead to illogical divisions in print, as can also happen when hyphens are added arbi- trarily without considering the ‘chemical’ context. The present document provides recommendations and guidelines for authors of chemical manuscripts, their publishers and editors, on where to divide chemical names at the end of a line and instructions on how to avoid these names being divided at illogical places as often suggested by desk dictionaries. Instead, readability and chemical sense should prevail when authors insert optional hyphens. Accordingly, the software used to convert electronic manuscripts to print can now be programmed to avoid illogical end-of-line hyphenation and thereby save the author much time and annoy- ance when proofreading. The recommendations also allow readers of the printed article to determine which end-of-line hyphens are an integral part of the name and should not be deleted when ‘undividing’ the name. These recommendations may also prove useful in languages other than English.

Top Ten Tips for Effective Punctuation in Legal Writing
TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE PUNCTUATION IN LEGAL WRITING* © 2005 The Writing Center at GULC. All Rights Reserved. Punctuation can be either your friend or your enemy. A typical reader will seldom notice good punctuation (though some readers do appreciate truly excellent punctuation). However, problematic punctuation will stand out to your reader and ultimately damage your credibility as a writer. The tips below are intended to help you reap the benefits of sophisticated punctuation while avoiding common pitfalls. But remember, if a sentence presents a particularly thorny punctuation problem, you may want to consider rephrasing for greater clarity.

Local Spelling Bee Rules
2020 Rules for Local Spelling Bees Preface The Scripps National Spelling Bee (SNSB) encourages spellers, parents, teachers and spelling bee officials to read these rules prior to any local spelling bee. The SNSB defines a local spelling bee as any spelling bee other than the May 25-28, 2020 championship spelling bee in Oxon Hill, Maryland (“national finals”). Spellers and spellers’ parents and teachers should check with their local spelling bee officials for the rules in effect in their area, as local spelling bee officials are encouraged but not required to use these rules. Spelling bee officials include the pronouncer, judges, coordinator and sponsor. While local spelling bee officials have the prerogative to amend Rules 2 through 11, amendment(s) — particularly any amendment(s) to the end-of-bee procedure — should be undertaken only with careful consideration of the various outcomes that may result from the amendment(s). The SNSB has no authority over the conduct of local spelling bees and will not render judgments relating to their conduct or outcomes. Individuals bearing complaints about local spelling bees should register their concerns with local spelling bee officials. DECISIONS OF LOCAL SPELLING BEE OFFICIALS ARE FINAL. These Rules for Local Spelling Bees are not the rules in effect at the national finals. When a local spelling bee official says, “We use the national rules,” he or she is probably indicating that the Rules for Local Spelling Bees are in effect. The national finals operate under a significantly different set of rules called the Contest Rules of the 2020 Scripps National Spelling Bee.

Revised Proposal to Encode a Punctuation Mark "Double Hyphen"
Universal Multiple-Octet Coded Character Set International Organization for Standardization Organisation Internationale de Normalisation Международная организация по стандартизации Doc Type: Working Group Document Title: Revised Proposal to encode a punctuation mark "Double Hyphen" Source: German NB Status: National Body Contribution Action: For consideration by JTC1/SC2/WG2 and UTC Date: 2011-01-17 Replaces: N3917 = L2/10-361, L2/10-162 Dashes and Hyphens A U+2E4E DOUBLE HYPHEN → 2010 hyphen → 2E17 double oblique hyphen → 003D equals sign → A78A modifier letter short equals sign · used in transcription of old German prints and handwritings · used in some non-standard punctuation · not intended for standard hyphens where the duplication is only a font variant Properties: 2E4E;DOUBLE HYPHEN;Pd;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;; Entry in LineBreak.TXT: 2E4E;BA # DOUBLE HYPHEN 1. Introduction The "ordinary" hyphen, which is representable by U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS or U+2010 HYPHEN, usually is displayed by a single short horizontal dash, but has a considerable glyph variation: it can be slanted to oblique or doubled (stacked) according to the used font. For instance, in Fraktur (Blackletter) fonts, it commonly is represented by two stacked short oblique dashes. However, in certain applications, double hyphens (consisting of two stacked short dashes) are used as characters with semantics deviating from the "ordinary" hyphen, e.g. to represent a definite unit in transliteration. For such a special application, in this case for transliteration of Coptic, U+2E17 DOUBLE OBLIQUE HYPHEN was encoded ([1], example on p. 9). However, there are other applications where the double hyphen is usually not oblique. For such applications, a "DOUBLE HYPHEN" is proposed here, which consists of two stacked short dashes which usually are horizontal.
