Both hyphenation algorithms are clearly working with words that have punctuation attached, and that seems to be causing the problems. But whether that is a fault of the code or the dictionary I don't know. Maybe they should be stripping the punctuation from the ends of the word before feeding it to the hyphenation algorithm, or maybe the hyphenation dicionary is supposed to have rules to handle the punctuation. The Dutch dictionary has no rules for punctuation, while the English dictionary does have some.

The English hyphenation dictionary I am using is not the one from Adobe. It's from someplace else and I've yet to see an incorrect hyphen using RMDSK.
If the hyphenation dictionary has errors, then you can get incorrect hyphens. So that is one place to look for sure.
