Adrian,

  That's called hyphenation and is used by TeX to fill the line. If a
single-syllable word (such as 'thanks') is incorrectly hyphenated the most
effective solution is to re-write the sentence (perhaps only altering word
order) so the line break comes elsewhere.

  If you see the hyphenation on a multi-syllabic word, but it's in the wrong
place, you can add a suggestion to TeX where the word can correctly be
broken.
