>When I pointed out that they were doing it wrong-that, in fact, the correct way to end a sentence is with a period followed by a single, proud, beautiful space-the table balked. "Who says two spaces is wrong?" they wanted to know.
Pretty rich talk from someone who used a hyphen in place of an em dash.
- anotheryou 10y agoDo you put spaces around em dashes—those of this kind? edit: Ah, in german we use a shorter one with spaces – like this. Still longer than a minus: -
- intopieces 10y agoI usually do put spaces around them, but that is a style choice I consider less important than the length of the dash itself. The style the author uses is indistinguishable from a hyphenated noun, like "hurdy-gurdy."
