Now I am confused, Bud. Can you give us an example?
Maybe em dashes aren't what you have in mind. On the
other hand, if it is a British mystery, some of those
authors use a lot of em dashes. Even though I;m not
English or an author, I'm afraid I use a lot of em
dashes when I write.

But if you can't understand make sense of the context
because the words are incomprehensible, then maybe
those are supposed to be simple hyphens and not double
dashes.
