Sometimes i have problems with knowing when to use dashes in my writing.
rules:
En Dash An en dash, roughly the width of an n, is a little longer than a hyphen. It is used for periods of time when you might otherwise use to.
Em Dash An em dash is the width of an m. Use an em dash sparingly in formal writing. In informal writing, em dashes may replace commas, semicolons, colons, and parentheses to indicate added emphasis, an interruption, or an abrupt change of thought.

Hm. Well that was interesting. I've never even thought about trying to include a dash in my writing or that I may need to. I guess because I never knew what they were for or the difference. Good to know.
