I think it’s a CSS issue. Word wrapping won’t break apart the amount because it’s considered one “word.”

There are ways to address it though.

The Register kind-of models itself after a tabloid style so has deliberately jokey headlines. It’s been around a long time (I read it in the 90s) and seems to have quality underneath the humor.

Possibly the only remaining place where you can read the word “boffins” regularly.

I feel like its on purpose but i also feel like web designers are often incompetent with stuff like that. So im undecided.
