..Just Another Day! [Page 0151]

See the full series on its website, with additional exclusive commentary: https://opossumvalley.neocities.org/JustAnotherDay/main

[jedusaur]

question from a lifelong Mac user who just started a new job involving a lot of copyediting academic manuscripts on a PC laptop: how the fuck do you type an em-dash?

I have scoured the web and found the following piss-poor excuses for solutions:

alt+0151, which doesn't work on laptops and also is ludicrous, 5 keystrokes? in this economy?

individually setting shortcuts in different programs

downloading a third-party app and creating a customized script in Notepad to set a keyboard shortcut (which I'll try if I can't come up with anything better, but my company's IT department has the settings pretty locked down so I'm not sure I'll be allowed to install some random app)

opening the emoji keyboard (for FUCK'S sake)

literally just going to the wikipedia page for em-dashes and copy-pasting it every single goddamn time

tell me I'm missing something. please. tell me there's a better way

Liverpool Student Lettings are taking part in Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day on Thursday 7 December!

By pulling on our Christmassy knits and donating, we’ll be supporting children in the UK and around the world to keep safe, healthy, and learning. We’ll be helping them fight for the future they deserve.

Just click the Give Now button above to donate £2 (or more if you're feeling generous...) and it will go straight to Save the Children (and perhaps ourselves). The money we raise could go towards some amazing things like:

1. £2 could pay for new clothing or go towards a new window in our studios.

2. £5 could pay for a hot meal or new flooring throughout our student buildings.

3. £40 could pay for a homeless person shelter this Christmas or give all our student studios a 21st century refurbishment.

We've also got our own QR code: just scan the code with your phone camera to give to our team’s pot.

Please donate now and help us reach our target! Thank you.

For more information on Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day click here.

⚠️ Important Update ⚠️

We have a new Evolution Records Facebook page as access to the original Facebook page is still disabled as the account along with the attached bank account was hacked in July 2022.

We hope to have the original page back online asap and both pages can be merged together however Facebook/Meta are very slow dealing with cases like this due to the company using AI so it is very long winded.

Hopefully the page can be restored along with all original clients and followers attached to it.

You can also reach us either via Instagram, Twitter, Linked In or via our usual contact methods:

> M: Ask if they've seen anything out of the ordinary.

This guy smells like a DENTIST’S OFFICE, you’re already dreading having to ask him.

Gloo immediately asks if you “slept well,” a clear jab at your late arrival to the festivities. You say it was fine, except it wasn’t fine, something weird is going on and you have no idea what. 

Gloo informs you the quadrigant is QUARANTINED and everyone hightailed it to the elevator the moment the alarms started going off. 

You ask why he’s still here.

He says a captain always goes down with his ship.

You don’t really get what he means by that.

The quarantine would explain the alarm and the security drone but it doesn’t explain why you woke up in Cyrup’s room. Your muttering on the thought piques Gloo’s curiosity. 

You get back on track and ask Gloo if he knows where Cyrup is. He says he's been wondering the same thing.

You ask what he means by that.

So what's the difference between em dashes, en dashes, hyphens, and a colon. When I saw that post about punctuation play and realized I used a colon in my request instead of an em dash, I overthought it and wondered, oh no do they think I am being passive aggressive in my request or insinuating something that I did not know.

Don't worry my dear, my 'punctuation play' joke was (funnier in my head, probably) just a showerthought I shared here linking the fact that I love playing with punctuation in writing. It was not referring to anything anyone has written. I'm not even sure which request you mean since it was anon and my memory is *so* bad! And I'd never nitpick on ANYONE about such a thing as how they use punctuation! Overthinking can be tough (I'm no stranger to it) so I'm glad you asked.

I'll try to answer the question. Disclaimer: this is no complete explanation(it never is, since language is a forever evolving beast).

the em dash (—) is longer than a hyphen (-) or an en dash (–). Can be used to replace commas(adding information), parentheses(when adding interruptions or commentary), colons(when introducing new information), and semicolons(connecting two independent sentences). It's more interruptive visually for the reader(!) so I use it(maybe too often...) to draw attention stylistically. Let's take an example, here from my fic Another Way:

an addict of some kind… or an escaped convict — but dressed like fucking d’Artagnan?

Now, if I were to use a comma:

an addict of some kind… or an escaped convict, but dressed like fucking d’Artagnan?

See? The impact seems to me greater in terms of Reader's confusion in the first one than the second one, where a comma is used. An em dash is more 'attention grabbing'. I won't go through other examples but you get it. I also use it outside of these cases because *shrugs* I like to play. I use alt+0151 to insert it fastly when writing.

An en dash is used in specific cases and typically to express ranges or to clarify more complex compound words I also used it in the past when I couldn't be bothered to use em dashes:

You will find the quote, check pages 100–111.

They were trapped in the same cycle, Monday–Friday.

etc

Hyphens link words and parts of words: custom-built

A colon has a variety of uses, such as introducing an explanation, a list, or connecting two related sentences. A common reason to use it is to insert information related to the sentence that precedes it.

I will never forget my father's words to me: "There are no more innocents!"

There are other details I likely missed to add but hope this gives an idea.

Paragraphs and dashes

>> writerthreads on Instagram

Paragraphs

Make a new paragraph every time a new character speaks, a change in time, or when the action “changes”.

This is done by indenting the first line. Don’t indent the first line of the story, or the first line following a chapter break or scene change.

Example (new scene):

The air had gone stale inside the basement. X and Y tried to look for the light switch, but there was none.

“Do you have a flashlight?” X asked.

Y shook his head out of habit. “No, should I go back up to get it?”

Y left X alone in the darkness.

I’ve seen so many low-quality Wattpad books where the author doesn’t bother to indent or to even paragraph properly. An average paragraph should be around five sentences long. THE ENTIRE CHAPTER SHOULDN’T BE ONE PARAGRAPH!!!

Dashes

Dashes are not as simple: there are hyphens, en dashes and em dashes.

The hyphen (-) is used to combine words, eg. twenty-one, well-being, one-night stand.

Em dashes (—) have the length of a ‘m’. They are quite versatile and can replace parentheses in pairs and colons.

Ex 1. X got white roses—she said that they represented purity—for our first year anniversary.

Ex 2. X was right—Y was bored.

The em dash is two hyphens on iPhone keyboards automatically joined up.

Both types don’t require spaces before and after.

En dashes (–): exclusively for dates and numbers, the length of the letter ‘n’.

Ex 1. Available dates: May 23–June 1st

Ex 2. Practice questions are on pages 78–81.

Keyboard shortcuts (Mac & Windows)

Note: they don’t always work on laptops

Hyphen (-): next to 0

Em dash (—): hold down alt and type 0151, then release alt

En dash (–): hold down alt and type 0150, then release alt

Last resort: copy and paste them, use special symbols on docs

Q&A:

Is it necessary to follow these rules?

It’s necessary if want your manuscript to be better, but if you’re writing for fun, then no, but it’s preferred for readers like me.

What about interrupted dialogue?

Use an em dash.

Doesn’t “em dash” require a hyphen?

Not usually.
