The hyphen is my favorite punctuation. One at the start of a line is a bullet point. One between words joins them. With numbers it is a minus sign. Two make an en dash. Three make an em dash. But since that wasn't a choice in the poll I guess I'll have to choose the semicolon
Well, in Spanish we don't use the en-dash, we use the longer em-dash. Unluckily, word processors don't manage Spanish em-dashes as they should – as parenthetical signs used around words and surrounded by spaces, as quotes are used in English, but to tell exactly the opposite: that a text is not said by a character, but part of narration.
I always thought the punctuation for dialogue stuff was the hyphen. Good to learn something new. These days lots of Spanish people seem to use something closer to the English dialogue rules, only sometimes with the (« and »).
