A great piece on en and em dashes! I am a fan of em dashes, because they project how I would speak the words. An interjection. Not quite it's own sentence, but a stray thought within a sentence. I love the em dash--although it can be abused--in writing meant to imitate how people think.

I agree that em dashes help to accurately convey the sense of how people actually talk :).Lisa
