If all those darn dashes, either short dashes or the longer em-dashes (which
I hate), are part of the author's writing style, you have to leave them!
You can't just go ditching them.

Hi Gang,
In some books they put dashes between some words, I guess in place of
a comma or something like that. Anyway the book I'm scanning now has
many of them and it doesn't read very well with the dashes in there
It makes sense if you go letter by letter and spell it out, but for
regular reading so often you can't even tell what it is saying. I
had thought of deleting all dashes but then that wouldn't leave a
space between the two words and it would be just as bad. Does
anybody have a good solution for that or should I just ignore them
and scan merrily on?
Thanks.
