Those hyphens are not correct; they should be n-dashes or m-dashes, but I forget which one's which and I don't know how to type either of them. :boon:

Spiral, we're aware that you're perfect in every way, you don't have to criticize every post you encounter. ^^

Oh yes, I remember the episode. That turtle actually must have been one of the tastiest things he's eaten on camera :P :boon:

Wwwhhh I pass over most faulty posts and only criticize a very small percentage of such posts I encounter and only when I deem a mistake to be extrordinarily stupid such as Sean or quite interesting as was the case here. You may or may not have noticed that I have quietly passed over every mistake you have made here, such as spelling 'deleted' with an 'a', or combining phrases into single words (e.g., 'a lot' ―> 'alot'). These mistakes didn't interest me enough...

Hyphen: ‐

En dash: –

Em dash: —

Figure dash: ‒

Minus: −

Horizontal bar (ridiculous): ―

~And yes, I replaced my tilde with a swung dash for a moment there!

Yeah, like when you used to preach to him how American spellings should never have been implemented into the orphography of English language. Despite this, I can spot an American spelling in this very quote! :P

Sorry =( Can't help my curiousity. But is asking about something the same as discussing it?

iT WAS aCARR'S FAULT for using that dreadful misspelling in the post I was quoting. It unbalanced my mind and fucked up my regionally-correct spelling. I must have been distracted by a passing thought of the word 'citizen' to let that slip under the radar, and now I feel like shit.

~How dare ANYONE use American spelling? It is an abomination, I tell you. An abomination.

This is one of the times when we agree.
And FAB's been around quite a lot, never posting.
