Jason Molina of Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co.

I’ve read his biography, I’ve listened to all of his music, and never in my life have I heard an artist whom I just wanted to give them a big hug. The guy struggled on an epic level in ways that I don’t think many do, and he makes me feel his sadness in a very intense and real way. His songwriting is exemplary and original, and his lyrics are regularly bouncing around my head.

I’ve done this before. Example

I was going somewhere yesterday, the bank?, when I saw…

It’s also fun to interject bangs into sentences too

I was so convinced that I was going to die!, but I ended up just fine.

Ultimately, I feel that if language is descriptive and not ambiguous it is legitimate English.

En dash is very useful for

Dates (3–20–25)
Subtraction (although I think math script uses its own unique dash?) (7 – 1 = 6)
Value ranges ($20–40)

Then of course there’s the beautiful—and slightly different—em dash!
