And While We’re On the Topic - Em Versus En Dashes
21.07.2006Okay folks.
I need your feedback. When do you use en versus em dashes?
I inclined to:
use the en dash between numbers, i.e. 35-45, etc.; and
use the em dash between phrases meant to set apart the phrase between the dashes - where I really want to make my point - as important.
Am I correct? Or do I just pick one and use it consistently throughout the text?
