no, sorry, I am still confused. Why the m dash in the first place? Why not just a regular dash

Hi Rita,An em dash is a long dash signifying a pause between words. Most people call a dash the thing that is really a hyphen, a shorter dash, and this is used to create compound words, or to join the beginning and end of a word when said word is broken either by the end of a line, or the end of a page.Does this answer your question? If not, ask again and we'll clarify. Peace, Mayrie At 04:15 AM 3/25/2008, you wrote:What does the m dash look like? Why is it used instead of a regular dash? Thanks lots.

I'm using two hyphens instead of the em dash now as a result of recent posts. smile G.Cindy --- Allison Hilliker <bookshare_girl@xxxxxxx> wrote:Chela wrote: "can you give an actual example, like two words that you see in the book that have the dashes in between, Yes, here you go.
