Because a "m dash" is the length of the letter M, while a "n dash" is the
half of that or the length of a letter N.
That is why, smile.
Other programs and synthesizers call them different things as well.
Viavoice calls them M dashes, while ATT naturals just call them a "long
dash" or just plain old dash.

I finally concluded that when I hear JAWS say m-, it is actually just a
dash; at least that's what is showing on the braille display. Why JAWS
should say m- is beyond me.
