H to the En to the Em

My online friend Jupiter Jones tells me there are not one but three different dashes that can be used in publishing. Intrigued? I certainly was! I mean – that’s niche, right?*

I’ve had a very entertaining half an hour finding out all about them.

Nerdy? Me?

Here, be enlightened … or did you all know and just forget to tell me?

Big thanks to Jupiter for opening up this whole new wormhole … beats cooking dinner at any rate …

*Edited to add: I can’t work out how to put the correct dash on here. Argh! But at least now I know what it should look like.
