RE: A Proper Em Dash
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
There are several similar but distinct marks: hyphen, dash, en-dash, and em-dash. The last two are so named because they are about the lengths of the letters 'n' and 'm,' respectively. Most word processors nowadays use the same key for each, and automatically correct the length contextually.
