Ooh, really? I put en dashes in date range’s and that’s it. Am I doing things wrong?

(Also thank you for the apostrophe, autocorrect. Always the way when discussing punctuation!)

Spaced en dash to offset parenthetical phrases (UK). Non-spaced (or hairspaced) em dash (US). Mileage varies, but typically the case.

Ha! So my spaced em dashes for parenthesis conform to nobody’s ideology! I am an iconoclast. Forging a brand new path through the forest of typography! You’ll never take me alive, copper!

Not wrong – just stylistically different. See what I did there?

Fair! Then I shall stick with my em dashes for parenthesis and colons, and en dashes in date ranges :-)
