It truly is the age of the #emdash. This has emdashes everywhere, even where it doesn’t have emdashes. It’s like strolling through Emdash Park, or a Museum of Emdashes.
Also: I wish the Wash Post would stand up this clearly for journalists under threat around the world.
@SusieWalsh @nathanalbert Grrrrrr hahaha!!! That one drives me crazy because I have to use unicode to get #EmDash on #Chromebook:
CNTRL, SHIFT, U, and 2014 (Oxford comma? or "+" 😜) — all that just for a one silly symbol🤦🏿♂ — — — — — — — — — —
@ike Interesting! Yeah, I guess once you get used to the original layout whether US, UK or JPN (and custom keyboard mapping) it's not an issue. While some laptop keyboards save space by eliminating dedicated keys for certain functions, at least they generally include markings to indicate the need for "shift" or CNTRL combinations. It'll just take a few days/weeks for combos to become second nature for those "missing" keys. I've already memorized CNTRL + SHIFT + U + 2014 for #EmDash " — ". PITA😂
@nathanalbert If you chuck in an em dash - we're friends today, tomorrow, and forever.
