On the contrary, if you use "-" throughout, there is only ONE shift character. 
Therefore if you miss it, EVERYTHING will be in text.

  (missing shift) 599-345  => TOOAERT

If you " " space instead, you get multiple chances to see numeric characters
after a shift character.  This should IMPROVE readability.

   (missing shift) 599 (space/shift) 345 => TOO 345
