Amen. If Tex can't do what it thinks is a good job, it throws a fit

and violates the margin, hoping to force a rewrite. Fortunately,

one can shut off the line-break algorithm and simply fill greedily.

The command to do so is \sloppy--an ironic descriptor of text

that looks better, albeit not up to Tex's discriminating standard.

Further irony: when obliged to write in Tex, I have resorted to

turning \sloppy mode on globally.
