Hello everyone and welcome back!
Let's talk about word division.
In this day and age of word processors and document creating applications, it's not much
of an issue.
But what is it anyway?
Word division is where you have a long word at the end of a line and you want to break
it; and then, continue with the word on the next line.
We break words by its syllable.
A syllable is a single-word sound that is uninterrupted.
For example: man, eye, strength, and sixths are all single syllable words; whereas the
word syllable has three.
The word division occurs with a hyphen.
It divides the word that does not fit in its entirety at the end of a typed or printed
line.
The hyphen is used on the line where the word starts and is placed between syllables.
For example, English is a two syllable word, so the hyphen would be where that little red
dot is on the page.
Some considerations when dividing a word are:
One syllable words cannot be divided.
Avoid dividing words with six or fewer letters.
Don't isolate one or two letters on a line.
So, for example, baboon and apartheid; baboon has only six letters, so you wouldn't even
break that.
Apartheid, you would break between the 't' and the 'h'.
Not the 'a' and the 'p'.
Divide between single letter syllables.
Situation.
The 'u' and 'a' are single letter syllables, so you would put the hyphen between the 'u'
and the 'a'.
Divide between double consonants, for example: baggage and sufficient.
You would put the hyphen between the 'g's and the 'f'.
Proper nouns can't be divided.
Do not separate contractions.
Prefixes and suffixes make natural divisions.
Divide already hyphenated words at their hyphen, for example: mother-in-law.
And always consider readability when breaking a word.
I'm going to use a word document example of hyphenation, and the part I'm going to use
is out of the Declaration of Independence.
So, let's go ahead over to the word document and look at what happens when we use word
division.
So here's my word document.
And I copied the portion of the declaration of independence here.
So, if you look at the highlighting, the political and the pursuit, these are single words.
And right now, the text is left justified, so now if I...or left aligned.
Now, if I decided I wanted to justify my text, it does this.
And now, let's say I want to use hyphenation.
Well, I go to page layout; I select hyphenation; and I do automatic and it will automatically
hyphenate political and pursuit.
I hope you enjoyed this video on word division.
