This is a list of all the words MS Word has mishyphenated in Unnatural Creatures. (And, yes, I double-checked all of them with the American Heritage Dictionary. Well, except "although," because really.)

• anim-al
  
• catech-ism
  
• circ-ling
  
• Co-leridge
  
• des-cended
  
• domin-ies
  
• edit-or
  
• Esth-er
  
• extra-vagant
  
• ima-gined
  
• irrit-ation
  
• juni-or
  
• lib-rary
  
• natur-al
  
• philanthrop-ist
  
• posit-ively

He isn't the Leridge! He's just the Co-leridge!

I just wanted to say how excited I am for this collection, and thank you for the work you're putting into it. :)

I'm not sure why, but it amuses me to no end that irritation was incorrectly hyphenated here.

For years, I had tried to keep the red-squiggly underlining of Windows software "turned off" because it was so generally unhelpful for anything other than quickly catching an obvious typo. Now I just use it for that last feature, and have learned how to ignore it when it does something silly.

That alt-hough person at the top is my husband! I couldn't figure out why he was there until I actually read the post.

I am sorry for your battles that you should not need to fight.
