I apologize for being That Guy, and your comment's content was very nice, but hyphens should not be used to separate words -- for that, you should use longer dashes. You can imitate this in plain text with the string " -- ". This makes your words easier to read, since using a single hyphen makes it look like you're just using hyphenated-words.

(Back on topic, my public school education never mentioned this. I learned it from the documentation for LaTeX. A sad state of affairs.)
