you’ve been hit by — you’ve been struck by — an angry_autist

i get the point, though. the “em” and “en” dashes are products of typography, so they’re not really “linguistic” insomuch as “stylistic”. just like my obnoxious use of quotes, they help to clarify language, but they’re not really part of it and are really only subjective. i disagree with some of the way it was worded and some of the things said, but the post is solid, even if just a bit off-topic.

my REAL beef is between hyphens and en-dashes. those fuckers are the same dude, and i’ll burn down your house if you disagree with me
