Seddon :twt:

I present to the world.... the erm-dash

–···

Use it for when you don't know when something ended or began, or forgotten how a word ends. Often can replace ... when used mid-sentence.

* Dates: 1989–···
* Works: My harddisk is slow, I need to de–··· something or other it

@seddon Pretty sure that's pronounced "fuck"
* Dates: 1989-fuck
* Works: My harddisk is slow, I need to defuck something or other it

@howtophil the fuck-dash... also colloquially known as the quickie

@seddon Otherwise known as the letter B in Morse code. :)

@seddon actually this is just the B dah dit dit dit

I love it, @seddon, doubly so given I can’t decide whether to put word joiner fore and aft the em dash. Both? It’ll always break weird.

@seddon @Verso Silly, but great for old people like me. I’m constantly forgetting names of things, have to use a synonym & hope for the best. This system would be great 🙂

@seddon Em dash, the do whatever the fuck you want punctuation.
