Do you have a proposed solution to this, David?<br>
<br>
I know that on my iPhone it is very simple to use a proper ndash & so I will always use the correct type of dash according to what I am writing. (same with on a Mac!)<br>
However, the more significant issue is simply that people don't know there is a difference (or why they are different lengths, etc)... ;)<br>
