Barbara Beeton has updated her master list of hyphenation exceptions for
U.S. English. The updates to the list will appear in the forthcoming
issue of TUGboat. The complete list, with plurals and other variants
included, is now available on CTAN, in info/digests/tugboat:
ushyphex.tex - the generated list, suitable for passing to TeX
tb0hyf.tex - the source for the list
hyphenex.sh - the (shell/sed) script which generates the former from
the latter, courtesy of Werner Lemberg.
If you actually try to \input the list unaltered, you will find that it
is currently over 1000 exceptions, which will overflow the limit in many
distributions (e.g., TeX Live 2004). The default limit will be increased
in future releases; meanwhile, for Web2C-based distributions, you can
increase hyph_size in texmf.cnf (8191 is a good number).
If any questions or problems, or you find additional exceptions are
needed, please email tugboa (at) tug.org.
