I'm kind of obsessed with the last one—the elegant and incredibly versatile em dash.
Want to set off parentheticals with parentheses or appositives with commas? Use em dashes!
Tempted to link clauses with a comma, semicolon, or colon? Use an em dash!
Rampant overuse of ellipses got you down? Set yourself apart with em dashes!
Not sure about what punctuation mark to use in a jam? Fake it with an em dash!
It's just one keyboard shortcut away.
