A cure for Anal Ysis

Well, I know all you Word Lady fans have just been dying for another punctuation blog post ever since I wrote about commas, so here it is: my big punctuation pet peeve: badly used hyphens when breaking words at the end of a line. Many of you are thinking, "But my computer does that for me!" Ha! If you trust your computer, you will end up with some very user-unfriendly word breaks. I have a little collection of them; please feel free to let me know about others you have come across.
Sometimes even a technically correct word break, which follows the syllabication of the word, ends up leading the poor reader astray.

This sounds like a nasty affliction:  anal-
ysis

There's the to-and-fro-ing anti-pro-
ject

the mythical leg-
end

But there are others where the computer obviously has no clue where the syllables are in English:

trai-
psing

(sounds like some kind of Chinese dish served in a cafeteria)

indo-
ctrination

(possibly something like Sino-ctrination?)

loose-
ned

(God forbid that Loose Ned should contract Anal Ysis!)

In fact, some newspapers break off the past tense -ed even on one-syllable words, like hop-
ped

(It gives a very High Anglican feel to reading the newspaper!)

There is the very frequent re-
ally

and its cousin, which I just saw this week: rear-
rest

Save Loose Ned from Anal Ysis and from being rear rested! Don't let your computer do your word breaks for you.

Long-a-go and far-a-way?

In a similar vein to the mistake that people make with "sing-along" I have also noticed "look-a-like". There is even a TV show called this, mistaken hyphen and all. What is so hard to understand? One person looks like another. They look alike. You can even call them "lookalikes". Look-alike or lookalike. NOT look-a-like!
