Thanks… What is wrong with my brain.

I found one of the crazy E.B. White hyphens. In a New Yorker column in 1959.
“My wife hap-pens to be a teacher, too.”
I thought that was so strange, why the hyphen? Maybe just a typo, or to get a person to say the word slowly? Anyhow, glad I found it, was starting to think I imagined it.
It’s probably just an artifact of digitizing the old magazine issues, where it was once an end-of-line hyphen in the print edition.

That was my guess originally, too – a quirk of typesetting.
