TypeTalk: A Dash of Confusion ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q. A friendly battle has ensued
between my boss and myself regarding the use
of em dashes. I use them when they are
appropriate grammatically, but he says no one
uses them anymore, that people only use en
dashes. According to him, em dashes are going
the way of the Dodo.A. Look around at type in printed matter and you'll notice that em dashes are still used in most instances, though en dashes do replace them some of the time. The truth is probably somewhere in-between both of your views. Read on... You ask, I answer! Send your questions to typetalk@thetypestudio.com. If your question is published, you'll get an official creativepro.com T-shirt.
