A Dash of This

A dash can function like comma or a colon. It can be used for variety, but you should take care not to overuse it.

The dash is created by typing two hyphens with no space between them and no space between the two words on either side of the dash. (The hyphen is between the zero and the equal sign on your keyboard.)
