Whats that for?

2019-10-15 04:05:39 UTC  

Careful showing off your wit, you can be muted if you are clever in here

2019-10-15 04:05:55 UTC  

power line, no chance of that with you then 😉

2019-10-15 04:05:57 UTC  

that's the problem lmao I don't know how to use an EM dash

2019-10-15 04:06:13 UTC  

Go figure it oot, an tell me, thanks 🙂

2019-10-15 04:06:20 UTC  

from what i've seen it does something like this -- but not really.

2019-10-15 04:06:47 UTC  

eh close enough

2019-10-15 04:07:01 UTC  

Sooooooooooooo

2019-10-15 04:07:04 UTC  

like a comma?

2019-10-15 04:07:10 UTC  

that's the problem

2019-10-15 04:07:16 UTC  

I can't distinguish it from a comma

2019-10-15 04:07:23 UTC  

hmmmmmmmmm

2019-10-15 04:07:29 UTC  

there are specific cases where you know the dash is better than the comma

2019-10-15 04:07:32 UTC  

that's what I'll try to work on

2019-10-15 04:07:46 UTC  

yeah, like the year thingo

2019-10-15 04:08:04 UTC  

but the directions, an that other wan, comma youd seem sufficient

2019-10-15 04:08:09 UTC  

is there any rule?

2019-10-15 04:08:37 UTC  

An em dash is most often used to indicate a pause in a sentence. It's stronger than a comma, but weaker than a period or semicolon.

2019-10-15 04:08:39 UTC  

interesting

2019-10-15 04:09:16 UTC  

Soooooooooooo

2019-10-15 04:09:20 UTC  

a longer comma lmao

2019-10-15 04:09:39 UTC  

yeah lmao

2019-10-15 04:09:47 UTC  

I never use EM dashes when I write formally

2019-10-15 04:09:49 UTC  

it's too risky

2019-10-15 04:10:08 UTC  

this was a stupid question

2019-10-15 04:10:23 UTC  

also that sate year, a to would be better, otherwise it sounds weird saying it out loud?

2019-10-15 04:10:40 UTC  

I can't answer your question lmao I have the same ones

2019-10-15 04:10:46 UTC  

I'm trying to learn it eventually

2019-10-15 04:11:06 UTC  

saying you lived here from 2009 long pause 2019

2019-10-15 04:11:10 UTC  

its odd

2019-10-15 04:11:30 UTC  

I think its just preference at this point?

2019-10-15 04:11:54 UTC  

ye but the SAT is nitpicky

2019-10-15 04:12:31 UTC  

for the question I got wrong I selected a semicolon

2019-10-15 04:12:37 UTC  

What do those arses say then?

2019-10-15 04:12:44 UTC

2019-10-15 04:12:45 UTC  

it does make sense

2019-10-15 04:12:47 UTC  

redundancy error

2019-10-15 04:13:02 UTC  

the dash would be the only selection that doesn't repeat something already stated in the sentence

2019-10-15 04:13:15 UTC  

look at box 29
