n: _in-tend, pro-pose, superin-tendent, expres-sion_.

In writing it is good usage not to divide a word like _expression_
by placing _ex_ on one line and the rest of the word on the next
line.

140. Use the hyphen to divide certain compound words. No rule can
be given by which to determine when compounded words demand the
hyphen. Only custom determines.

Always use a hyphen with _to-day, to-morrow_, and _to-night_.
