We use COLONS in this household. We use SEMI-COLONS when we want to look smart. We use COMMAS when we DON'T CARE. We use - when we need a dash. This symbol is NOT on OUR keyboards. When you see it, perform a Voight-Kampff test and expose them.

I have recently realized that most of the time I use a comma it's probably better to simply end the sentence and restructure the paragraph to suit. I still don't know or care what an emdash is.
