WHAT DOES EM RULE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Dash

A dash is a punctuation mark that is similar to a hyphen or minus sign, but differs from both of these symbols primarily in length and function. The most common versions of the dash are the en dash and the em dash, named for the length of a typeface's lower-case n and upper-case M respectively. Usage varies both within English and in other languages, but the usual convention in printed English text is: ▪ Either version may be used to denote a break in a sentence or to set off parenthetical statements. In this function, en dashes are used with spaces and em dashes are used without them: A flock of sparrows—some of them juveniles—alighted and sang. A flock of sparrows – some of them juveniles – alighted and sang. ▪ The en dash is also used to indicate spans or differentiation, where it may be considered to replace "and" or "to": The French and Indian War was fought in western Pennsylvania and along the present US–Canadian border. ▪ The em dash is also used to set off the sources of quotes: "In matters of grave importance, style, not sincerity, is the vital thing."—Oscar Wilde...
