As long as it's slow enough for me to spear it with a fork. But why capitalize? |

Can't decide on which dash to use, I gather. No spaces on either side of the dashes. |
Technically, I violate the no-space rule all the time with many of my em dashes because of end-of-line spacing issues. Depending on the software, two words connected by an em dash can be treated as a single word by the program. When this happens, the entire "word" is bumped to the next line, making the previous line of text incongruously short. This looks awful, so to avoid this, I add a space to the right (and only to the right) of the em dash. The computer then treats the text before and after the dash as two words, not one. Does anyone notice the thought I put into my writing? No. I'm sure no one does. Hmph.

Of course women are equal: morally and spiritually equal. And some women are physically superior to men. |

It's like with gun laws: only the law-abiding obey. And pay the price. |

Why is a vicar explaining reincarnation? (vocative comma, periods, more commas) |

I got called "Comrade Kim" by a homeless Korean man years ago. |

It would be five bullshit things. |

Where does the comma go? |

Fix the English. Just a little. |
Regarding the prostate exam, I'll never forget my first time. Especially the moment I realized the doctor had BOTH hands on my shoulders...
