As 2020 ends we say goodbye to the things that caused frustration and pain. Out with the old, in with the new.
Here at DomainGang we are truly grateful for our readers, followers, sponsors and simply great domainers that have been contributing to our quest for domain-related news reporting for the past 11 years.
Writing such content—almost 11,000 articles—is a daunting task that requires a lot of typing. One of the most useful grammatical symbols is the em dash, and we just used two of them in the previous sentence.
It separates visually two parts of the sentence, giving it space and a short breathing pause or drop in pitch—an incredibly versatile punctuation mark that can be used instead of parentheses, commas, colons, or quotation marks in a sentence.
An em dash is beautiful, yet hard to type on a keyboard.
Don’t worry though, the registrant of the domain EmDa.sh has you covered. That’s right: not the .com, but the “lowly” dot .sh ccTLD that represents the Saint Helena Island, somewhere off the southwest African coast. They operate the dot .sh ccTLD from nic.sh.
But this post is not about geography. If you need an em dash real quick, just go to EmDa.sh in your browser, copy the displayed em dash and get back to work.
Thank you, EmDa.sh! 😀
