Behold the em dash, /lit/.—How do you like to format your em dashes? Do you even

It's not really important except for the final draft given that when you change your formatting it changes sometimes.

>No Like —this? Option
What the fuck are you doing, family?

>Like--this?
I usually do this, and then I find and replace "--" with "—".

But that's only if I really care about what I'm writing. Otherwise, I just stick with "--".

I have AutoHotKeys enabled so that I get a minus sign when I type two hyphens ("You take a −2 Strength penalty"), an en dash for two commas ("It lasted from 1860–5"), and an em dash when I type two semicolons ("And—get this!—OP is an autist!")

OP was a faggot--- that everyone knew--- so jfjshdjbehfhsbejfbdh

>"--- "

Consider suicide.

>>7639228
Like—this is the only acceptable option.

What's the difference between the minus sign and the en dash?

>>7641826
The en dash is bigger.

And lower.

minus: −– :en dash

I write with them -- well, kinda -- all the time like this.

I probably use it once every three sentences in essays. Maybe more. I get complaints that I take too many detours in my sentences.

This is one of this instances (just one, mind) where parentheses are more appropriate than parenthetical em dashes—ya dig?

Em—dash
En – dash

It's that simple.
I usually use en dashes over em dashes desu. Using hyphens instead is pleb-tier.

>>7639228
It's a toss-up between
>>Like — this?
>>Like —this?

>>7641814
Hmm. I remember the triple hyphen being used by not-pynchon.

Neither you fucking dumbasses.

>Like—this
