the way i use them:
dashes are supposed to link two-words together or a wo rd that splits in half on a line break.
em dashes are used to link sentences. normally a comma or period would suffice – to show an easy relation between the two. Where commas are used throughout in over various not connecting reasons.
- Wrong. Hyphens link two words together. Dashes are for running copy.monospaced
- true, but in the context of en vs em********
- i'm concluding that en dash and hyphens are the same********
- if you think an en and em dash are the same then you're an idiotmonospaced
- i was thinking en and hyphens were the same, but apparently they're different********
- in the context of the computer keyboard, they're visually very similar********
- however you cannot get en and em mixed up********
