Text hyphenation in general

Another bad thing you should know about hyphenation: OSX only supports english hyphenation rules. It does not matter which language you select for your programs or finder.
There is no replacement for OSX hyphenation system yet, as cocoa developers did not implement a generalized concept for hyphenation rule handling yet.
You'll find english hyphenation dictionary on your HD at:
System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/Resources/English-Hyphenation.txt
The exception dictionary can be found at the same location (English-HyphenationExc.txt)

Inconsequently spell checking is not limited to english language.
