On D'Em Dashes
-------
What would (this or any) blog be without the em dash (--), and all those other (supposedly) disruptive, overused punctuation marks? (@&*(@&*) You/me/and everyoneweknow would read blogs, articles, and tweets without the necessary interjection of distinct personality -- tucked in between hyphenations [and brackets] -- that purposely bring life to our otherwise life-less-ish computer screens. To those editors/authors/publishinghouse know-it-all's (including the copy-editor-guy at the bar two nights ago who interrupted my private conversation about this very subject to -- in my humble opinion -- simply declare aloud that he knows best), I say Live on the Edge; Have a Drink: & Use an Em Dash Today! (Enjoy.)
