Here's a silly one. Which dash should we use?
Should we use - the hyphen?
Should we use -- the double-hyphen?
Should we use – the en-dash?
Should we use — the em-dash?
Should we use 一 the CJK ideograph for number one?
I've also read that the em-dash should be used differently—without spaces.
I think my preference is em, then en, double hyphen, ichi, hyphen. I also it with spaces around (open), rather than right next to the word (closed).
(I also like two spaces after sentences, but Rob and my browser keep taking them out.)
