how did the em dash get its name
Dash The dash is a punctuation mark that is similar in appearance to a hyphen or minus sign, but differs from both of these symbols primarily in length and function. The most common versions of the dash are the en dash (–) and the longer em dash (—), whose names historically were loosely related with the length of a lower-case n and upper-case M, respectively, in commonly used typefaces.
Virginia Cavaliers The Cavalier mascot represents a mounted swordsman, and there are crossed swords or sabres in the official logo. An unofficial moniker, the Wahoos, or 'Hoos for short, based on the university's rallying cry "Wah-hoo-wah!" is also commonly used.[12] Though originally only used by the student body, both terms—Wahoos and 'Hoos—have come into widespread usage with the local media as well.
