hyphen and minus is the same punctuation symbol in different contexts, at least how most people, including you, signify the mathematical symbol.

hyphen: -
minus: -
en-dash: –
em-dash: —

so… yeah. pretty clear it doesn't matter to you since you speak authoritatively about it while being incorrect

you think I don't know this - I know I don't care about it

so… you know you're wrong, but you go around correcting people? why?

Because they really feel they're right, and that's what matters — right?

it's like being an atheist and therefore not caring about the details of transsubstantiation. irrelevance.

it's interesting you would phrase your simile like that because it seems much more like being an atheist and then having a strong opinion that the miracle of transubstantiation happens in the hindgut, even though no theology calls for that.

Or being a Tesla owner and therefore not caring about democracy
