Where does the dash go?

Dear Copyeditors (of books and newspapers),

Obviously you missed out on the grammar classes in elementary school in which line breaks and syllables were discussed. As you reach the end of a line, if the word you are writing doesn't fit, break it at the syllable break, inserting a dash, and continue with the word on the next line. An example of this would be:

End Line 1: wonder-
Begin Line 2: ful

Stableboy? Does not have a syllable break after "st" and thus should not ever appear as

End Line 1: st-
Begin Line 2: ableboy

Fitzhugh? There's no syllable break between the "t" and "z".

Also, just a reminder: spellcheck alone cannot stand in the place of a human reader. When it does, articles about public policy end up droning on about "pubic interest". Which sounds vaguely lewd and was completely unrelated to the public interest being discussed.

Thank you,
jmc

The Biochemist has started me down a dangerous road. After seeing a show on the Really Really Ridiculously Good Looking tour, I had to buy a copy of Viva la cobra. Which I like, despite the heinous pink graphics on the disc and liner notes, along with the painfully 80s clothes, especially Gabe Saporta's ugly checked pants.  (Was Decaydance unwilling to spring for a stylist?)  And now I'm contemplating buying a copy of Gym Class Heroes' second album, because I like the lead singer's riff in the middle of "Kiss My Sass". Which leads me to The Academy Is. I pointed out that my music expenditures are about to increase dramatically, and TB offered to lend me music to see which I might like. And now I'm wondering about Warped and whether or not it will be coming to this area. And if 3 Doors Down will still be headlining, because I so want to see them (missed it when they were touring with Skynard).

Answer: According to Wikipedia, yes, but at Merriwether Post Pavilion, a venue I despise. Other sites will be Norfolk, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. Except MPP and ticketmaster don't have any information about tickets.

A variety of emails went back and forth, mostly about music, etc., then falling onto Pete Wentz and his ability as a musician vs. his business acumen vs. the whole eyeliner/Ashlee Simpson 15 minutes of fame. Her comment about Thanx dinner at the Simpson house:

I was trying to imagine Ashlee and Jessica with their dad and their respective boyfriends, all sitting down for turkey. What exactly do you think Tony Romo and Pete Wentz have in common to discuss? ... Are they going to discuss eyeliner tips? Compare tattoos? ... Discuss how Wentz is "only gay above the waist" and wrote an entire album about his not-quite-platonic relationship with Mikey Way during Warped '05 but Romo's work involves him touching the center's butt?

Which prompts more ruminating on gender and homophobia in music and sports.
