Additionally many words are actually break-
-able because you can hyphenate them to wrap
over multiple lines neatly. Books and news-
-papers employ this technique more
frequently than most other mediums due
to limited page space and printing costs.

However, when space isn’t physically limited (and a book or 
newspaper are not being emulated), breaking up words is 
unfavourable because it compromises readability. So it’s nice to 
have a word breaking option (for when emulating printed media is 
desirable, like rendering a newspaper texture that has randomly 
generated text), but it should by no means be the default. And 
it’s a lot of work for such a subtle and language-specific 
feature.
