	Dash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The em dash is used in much the way a colon or set of parentheses is used: it can show an abrupt change in thought or be used where a period is too strong and a comma too weak.
		The width of the en dash was originally the width of the typeset letter "N", while the width of the em dash was the width of "M"; hence the names.
		A spaced en dash is commonly used for this purpose in British publications, whereas in the USA the tendency is to use the unspaced em dash.

	Dashes and hyphens
		The phrase “swung dash” normally means a character used, for brevity, in dictionaries to stand for a word or part of word that occurred previously.
		One might conclude from this that if the minus sign cannot be used but the en dash is available (e.g., when the character repertoire is limited to the so-called Windows character set), the en dash is a better surrogate for the minus sign than the hyphen-minus or the em dash.
		In some usage, “long dashes” are used: “a two em dash” might indicate missing letters in a word (or sometimes a missing word); whereas “a three em dash” might indicate that a word or phrase has been left out.
