Back when I was learning to type in high school different typewriters had different numbers of keys. Some typewriters did not have a 1 key, so it was necessary to represent a 1 with an l. As I recall, most typewriters did not have a dash, so since a dash is simply a rather long hyphen it was represented with two hyphens. Perhaps I am remembering wrong, but I seem to recall that some typewriters did have a dash key. As I sit here before a computer key board with all the various keys that did not even exist back then on any typewriter I do kind of wonder why there is still no dash key. Whatever the reason, I still retain the convention of using two hyphens for the dash. I can't think of any situations in which you would have a double hyphen without it being a dash, but if there are any then the context of the double hyphen should let any of us know that it is a dash. That is why when I used the word dash I meant double hyphen, at least I meant that is how I would type a dash. To me a double hyphen is a dash._ _ _"Everything must justify its existence before the judgment seat of Reason, or give up existence." - Friedrich EngelsFollow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/rogerbailey81 The Militant: http://www.themilitant.com Pathfinder Press: http://www.pathfinderpress.com Granma International: http://www.granma.cu/ingles/index.html----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue Stevens" <siss52@xxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 24, 2011 4:30 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: M dashes and fontsHi Mayrie,In the days when I took dictation on the dictaphone, if someone said dash, they meant two hyphens, not one hyphen. If they said hyphen, they meant one hyphen, not a dash, which was two hyphens. Thus, I do not understand what you mean when you say we were never told to convert M-dashes to dashes.

It used to be necessary to convert them to two hyphens, but now the conversion tools do this for us. A dash is a hyphen creating a compound word, an em dash, or in the old days, two hyphens denoted a pause in the reading. Very, very different things, so if people are converting em dashes to a single hyphen or dash, they're nothelping at all!

If I have to do a training book, not sure I will cause I'm not sure I have the time. First of all, if the book has m dashes, do we take those out, or do they translate into double hyphens. Or should they be changed to --.Second, am I supposed to go through this book and find fonts to change.Some of these say 11 point, not greater than 14. Metyhinks these are my only questions about the book.
