I know that a nice list of (English) hyphenation exceptions was published in TUGboat, in quite a few installments. Is it compiled somewhere in one place?

whenever an update is published in tugboat, the complete "list-so-far" is posted to ctan as a pdf file tb0hyf.pdf and the tex source tb0hyf.tex. the most recent update was in november 2010.
taking a cue from egreg, the entire package, hyphenex
, is available from ctan and is also part of tex live. the package includes the processing module and the preprocessed list,
ushyphex, as well as the tugboat material.
update: suggestions for additions can be mailed to tugboat@tug.org

for US-english run
kpsewhich ushyphex.tex
for TeXLive => $TEXMF/tex/generic/hyphenex/ushyphex.tex
I don't know if there is also an exception log for GB english.

this isn't the most recent version. tex live 2010 closed before the latest update; for that, you have to go to ctan. Jul 12, 2011 at 19:30

@Barbara: true, but I have TeXLive 2011 installed :-)– user2478Jul 12, 2011 at 20:24

@Herbert, I have copied the output of kpswehich ushyphex.tex in between the brackets of an
\input{}
in my preamble, would you say that is the 'correct' way of doing it?– IngoOct 24, 2013 at 13:51 -
2you do not need the path a
\input{ushyphex.tex}
should be enough.– user2478Oct 24, 2013 at 14:10
The CTAN location is

Thanks a lot! I am not at all surprised that I have it somewhere in my texlive installation - but I did not know the filename...– mborkJul 12, 2011 at 21:53

@Stephen: A TeX distribution is MiKTeX or TeXLive– user2478Sep 12, 2011 at 16:34

1@Stephen: since
ushyphex.tex
is only in tex live, that i can tell, the only useful statement is "it's in tex live". (note, i don't run an up-to-date miktex, so i'm going by the list of locations in miktex'sfiles.csv
.) Sep 27, 2013 at 14:24
