Such eloquent writing, must’ve passed his english class.

The em-dash is indeed a very versatile piece of punctuation—it can be used for pauses that wouldn’t suit a semicolon—and can be used in place of parentheses.

I thirst for another drucharii voice line
"They turned black arks into a real thing! Most viruoutus!"

[Briggattonii]

So true! Em dashes should be used more often, not just in literature

[monikorasort]

Funnily enough, I just learned what an em dash is about an hour ago— truly, this is an unappreciated but wholly necessary element of punctuation.

-A dash is not a tool for the weak, but an expression for the fictional people in your head - I say with confidence. -Nobody shall deny such a beautiful tool of communication - I added.

[witchhusband]

As an editor, I love ‘em dashes, colons, semicolons—anything to break up a sentence and make it sound more like someone is talking.

[conductor]

I stand with the writer for he speaks with his heart.

[johnarbuckle]

Everyone should use more em dashes in their writing- like I’m doing right now!

[JZStudios]

I love to use em dashes because it helps articulate my speaking pattern into the written form.

[fotisk-sgsh]

Speaking—as a non editor—use as many em dashes as you want

[kitsunehistory]

As an amateur light novelist, I use em-dash pretty often —which not only more useful as a pause than the semicolon, but also adding a details like this.

[Bewegungskrieg]

Even the god forsaken pits of the youtube comment section will auto correct- - to —.

[theJellyjoker]

La-ah, pronounced Ladasha because the dash don't be silent

[zigzagzipbag]

Speaking as an editor, I don't know what I'm doing, I woke up in an office with a pile of paper and I don't know where I am.

[Fishman]

It's like what comma is supposed to do but better

[unidino]

Em dashes fill the mind with- possibilities- unknown previously-and it stimulates new ideas for---- penmanship
