An odd little bonus from the last couple days: blogger.com's spellchecker works right with em dashes, now. An em dash is a dash the same width at the letter "M"—like that one. The key sequence for it on a PC is Alt-0151 (use the number keys on the keypad, not across the top of the main keyboard). They're actually pretty common in books—usually more than one a page, but are unfortunately left off of modern keyboards.

One of life's little happinesses. . .
