It took thirty-odd years for web browsers to get automatic hypenation and
almost a decade for me to notice

I had no idea that hyphenation has been supported for eight years now. And
adding support was easy enough—I already mark the blog as being English so
the only remaining bit was adding the bit of CSS to enable it. I've been
manually (for various values of “manual”) hyphenation hints with the use of
­, such as when I mention FaceGoogleLinkedMyBookPlusInSpace or when I do
my XXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX censor bars.
Now, it looks like I don't have to do that anymore. Sweet!
