#endash — Public Fediverse posts

Every once in a while I visit this short video by Elle Cordova, to refresh my enjoyment of her erudite sense of humour. I watch it once; then I realise I need to watch it again; then again, and again, and so an hour passes with this short piece on permanent repeat, each repeat revealing another nuance in the battle of the punctuation marks. A flawless masterpiece.

En Dash speaks to Oxford Comma:
"_I signify every word and blank space in a page range, I am the infinite stairwell between integers, I am the bloody embrace between two countries at war, and on a gravestone I am the entire life lived between birth and death, who are you?_ "

Terrible example of ens being used to justify means.

You can take U+2014 (—) and U+2013 (–) from my cold, dead hands. #emdash #endash #llm

#English is tough 😥:

“How To Use Em Dashes (—), En Dashes (–), And Hyphens (-)”, Merriam-Webster (https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/em-dash-en-dash-how-to-use).
