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.

@seddon Pretty sure that's pronounced "fuck"

@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 added to my note about special characters
@seddon Em dash, the do whatever the fuck you want punctuation.
