⚠️
Mistake: Using a hyphen - instead of an en-dash – for ranges
Fix: Use – (–) for number ranges (pages 10–20), scores (3–2), and connections (New York–London). A hyphen is too short.
⚠️
Mistake: Confusing en-dash – with em-dash — or hyphen -
Fix: The en-dash – is longer than a hyphen - but shorter than an em-dash —. Use it specifically for ranges and connections.
