Common Mistakes
⚠️
Mistake: Using hyphens where em-dashes or en-dashes are needed
Fix: Use — (—) for breaks in thought, – (–) for ranges (2010–2020), and a hyphen (-) only for compound words (well-known). These are three distinct punctuation marks.
⚠️
Mistake: Using three periods instead of the proper ellipsis character
Fix: Use … (…) for ellipsis. Three separate periods may break across lines and look uneven. Also, don't put spaces between the dots.
