Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dude! Easter egg!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

With Steph on the spaces around dashes of any kind, unless it's an actual hyphenation syncopation situation.

My favourite's delta. (He's a perfect triangle. She's a tiny circle with Elvis' hair. They fight constantly!)

Er, I always thought lowercase delta looked kind of like a sperm.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Ack!!!! Go space! Choose space!

Shudder. Steph, love, that is SOOOOOO wrong.

Thank goodness, Plei. I thought I was among the heathen.

Thanks for all the fish.

I think that dashes should have spaces around them - I always have.

I agree — dashes want spaces!

And yes, this is a gratuitous punctuation post.

E'ry book I've ever worked on for publication—no spaces.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It always looks like a staple. Okay, when I draw it.

When I draw pi, it looks like two t's connected at the top. The upper case verdana pi looked like an actual staple, i.e., and upside-down, squared-off U.

Er, I always thought lowercase delta looked kind of like a sperm.

Me, too.

Plei, how do you type an em dash? Is there an HTML code? I always go with the --.
