spaces and en dash or no spaces and em dash. don't surround em dashes with spaces. and no fucking hyphens
@nithgrim using en dashes in place of em dashes annoys me more than spaces around em dashes. I'm looking at you @TheRegister

@anomalyuk using spaces around em dashes is almost as bad as using backticks instead of apostrophes. too much empty space. -
@nithgrim I would prefer thin spaces, but we’re not allowed them for some reason. I've reluctantly settled on no space. -
@anomalyuk thin spaces are in unicode, dunno how widely they're supported. could just do spaces with smaller font size

@anomalyuk the only online translation of han feizi uses wade-giles with backticks for the apostrophes and it is the absolute worst thing -
-
@anomalyuk what, that is a recent thing, do *they* use wade-giles -
@nithgrim no, all pinyin except for a few scans. And not backticks; I think it’s just ASCII at some stage, so it’s hyphens, straight quotes.
