the random ponderings of e. f. danehy

“Hi, my name is Erin and I abuse commas.”

“Hi, Erin.”

“I use them. Everywhere. And I also abuse sentence fragments for dramatic, speech-like effect. I also abuse hyphenated phrases because I don’t like just ‘creating’ words — adding the hyphen makes them ‘legit.’ I also abuse the emdash.”

[Not all know and love the beauty that is the emdash.
Some use the hyphen: ( - ) or the endash ( – ) instead
of the proper emdash ( — or -- ).]
