Em and En dashes......who knew? Em dashes are about the width of an m. They can be used to replace commas, parenthesses, and colons. They are used to enchance a point or when there is a change in the idea.
Example:
Never have I met such a lovely person—before you.
I wish you would—oh, never mind.
En dashes, go figure, are the width of an n. These dashes are used to replace the word to.
Example:
from June – August
California – Flordia coast line
