Monday, 10/21/13: Foyle, etc.

* Open

• Grammar
• Oh, dash it all!
• - hyphen (on a keyboard, same as the minus sign): use this punctuator for hyphenation. It is the shortest of the three.
• Example: The red-headed, eight-year-old boy caused the fight, oddly enough, with a well-intentioned remark.
• – en dash (ctrl-minus in Word or hyphen hold on the iPad): use this punctuator for spans. This is longer than a hyphen but shorter than an em dash.
• Example: William Shakespeare (1564–1616) was a wondrous wordsmith.
• — em dash (double hyphen or ctrl-alt-minus in Word or hyphen hold on the iPad): use this to signal a break in a sentence or to insert an emphasized parenthetical thought. This is what we commonly call a dash. This is the longest of the three.
• Example: Great Gotham, Batman—punctuators like these portend pernicious perils!
• Example: This is the day—how does it go?—that the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
