Italic-Dash

     Italics are tricky to use, but not as confusing as dashes-----. Dash this but not this. Dash-Away, Dash-Away, Dash-Away all, that’s what Santa said. What am I supposed to do? It’s such a troubling issue. I think in italics, that’s what I’m told. 

     To dash or not-to-dash, that is the question. Damn-the–italics! Full dash ahead! I think. Life is full-of-problems, but none so dashing as the use of italics in the proper-way. It’s all just a trap, ready to snap. There is no answer set-in-stone.

     So much-to-do, so little-time. It’s just a dash-away to freedom if you ignore the rules. What rules? There are no rules.  I live in an italic world, and the dash is my enemy.

     Dash-it-all. Don’t-worry-about-it-just-use-italics-whenever-you’re-in-the-mood, but for-God’s- sakes don’t forget the commas.
