Hah. Neat!

For pedantry...

My understanding was that en-dash was a range, and em-dash was a change in topic or a parenthetical, so I've been using the wrong one but for the right reason. This may be an American style distinction, though. Time to jump into a new rabbit hole.

    I've always just used a hyphen for ranges, without having any idea whether that makes me a philistine. A quick search says that, like most of this, it varies depending on who you ask.

    Good luck in your rabbit hole!
