Dash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia →
It could be the sleeping pill kicking in, but I really enjoyed reading the Wikipedia article on the dash and its role in punctuation. Perhaps I’ll investigate what the deuce curly braces were used for before code and the need to give moustaches to emoticons.
