[limpingpygmy] The Hyphen: When a compound modifier, other than a noun-noun or adverb-adjective combination, appears before a term, the compound modifier is generally hyphenated to prevent any possible misunderstanding, such as in American-football player or real-world example. Without the hyphen, there is potential confusion about whether American applies to football or player, or whether the author might perhaps be referring to a "world example" that is "real".

[Smashing Magazine] Top Ten Web Typography Sins | Events | Smashing Magazine: Two examples off of the top of my head: this web form (notice I did not spend time using curly quotes), and editorial/business staff using a site administration tool. Anyone who has dealt with encoding issues, international users, and special character parsing (to remedy users who copy and paste in windows-1252 characters from Microsoft Word) knows why I might complain about the print design world invading the web design world.

[Fonts.com: About Fonts] Type And Color - Fonts.com: Color and typography work together in many ways. Color can attract attention to an element, help emphasize, contrast and organize content, reinforce impact and recognition, create a mood, strengthen an identity and even assist readability.

[drupal.org - issues for SMTP Authentication Support] Pretty output: proper typography for ellipsis, quotes and dashes ...: Well, obviously, the way to duplicate it is with ". .&nbsp.", and in some of my research earlier today, I saw various documents (nothing official or authoratitive, however, which is why I didn't include them in my previous comment, but the nutshell was a discussion about the ellipsis and emdash, and how misused ellipses were taking the intent away from the emdash) suggesting just that approach. I've found no authoratitive documents suggesting that the single character entity is acceptable however.

[Dave Shea's mezzoblue] mezzoblue § Glyphs: Lastly, I hope it isn’t considered spam to link to my own blog here, but I did make a little project of organizing all the Unicode characters that correspond to characters of the IMB PC “OEM” character set back into their original codepage order:

[Lifehacker Australia] Avoid Ten Typos (Almost) Everybody Makes - Lifehacker Australia: @tmweber: The article doesn't really lambaste anyone for making these "mistakes." It just offers up suggestions for more readable formatting. Using ASCII codes and HTML tags is a little more work than "implying" characters with straight text (I usually don't write out my name as André), but putting in the extra effort does help readers out, and often makes your content more likely to be read.

[Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing: Recent Comments] Grammar Girl :: Dashes: The en dash is used much less frequently and usually only to indicate a range of inclusive numbers. You would use an en dash to write something like Squiggly will be on vacation December 2 to December 9, where the to between the dates is an en dash and indicates that Squiggly will not be in the office starting the 2nd of December and will return on the 10th of December (because an en dash indicates that the numbers are inclusive of those two dates).

[Free Range Librarian] Free Range Librarian ”º Dashes versus Hyphens: I checked my plugins, in case in a sleepwalking moment I downloaded, extracted, reviewed, uploaded, activated, and configured a plugin I had never heard of until yesterday, but to my relief this was not the case. It’s possible this is happening within another plugin, or (I’m betting, anyway) that the theme’s CSS is driving this.
