A method to differentiate a dash placed at the end of a line to indicate that a word has been separated into two parts because it did not fit on a line, from a hyphen inserted between two or more words, such as "hands-on", "brother-in-law", or "state-of-the-art".
It is best to differentiate a dash placed at the end of a line to indicate that a word has been separated into two parts because it did not fit on a line, from a hyphen in a compound word such as "hands-on".
A "compound word" is comprised of two or more words and has a hyphen between each word.
If a line ends in "able-" and the next line says "bodied", readers automatically interpret "able", followed by "body", to mean "ablebodied". Most people do not remember that the correct way to write "ablebodied" is with a hyphen (able-bodied). I call this method to differentiate dashes from hyphens the "next line hyphen".
If the last word on a line of text says "for-", and the first word of the next line says "profit", the logical way to interpret the dash is as being a dash, though in reality, the writer means “for-profit”, not “forprofit”.

Leslie P.N. Cheatin Standin, founder of the Live Perfectly Here Now facebook group is suing her mobile device's manufacturer in Harmonious Rhythmic Gluteal Impact Ejaculation Court to get that court to order his Internet Service Provider and his mobile device's manufacturer to stop regularly interfering with and sabotaging some of the actions she attempts to execute on her mobile device.
In the preceding 4-years, she has logged in her journal almost every instance of that type of interference.

Examples of things which "tangibleize" an invisible thing—such as a thought—are words, drawings, photographs, images, and sculptures or 3-D models because those things have transformed a thought or feeling into a visible or tangible representation of them.
