@NeedellAllan I use a Mac for most of my writing, so it's easy (option+shift+dash). I'm a believer in spaces but I teach the controversy.
A disturbing amount of my self-editing process involves searching for all em-dashes and replacing them with commas.

@drocera They have their charms but I abuse them when I'm lazy. Ditto colons and semi-colons. I try to reserve them for dramatic moments.
