Whoever wrote that article is super into the em dash.
- a-priori 18y agoHoly crap, no kidding. I count 23, including the one on the guy's signature... maybe that is his signature? :)
- ssanders82 18y agoNot to threadjack, but are there any guidelines for that? He seems to use dashes where most writers would use commas to separate out a sentence subphrase. His "Aird — who is white — has failed..." would normally be "Aird, who is white, has failed..." I'm curious if it's just a matter of choice to use the dash there. But yes, he overdoes the dash. I'll bet he has Microsoft Excel set to export as DSV.
