—¡It's actually an em dash! —perkily exclaimed another anon before adding—: At least that's the usual rule in Spanish, although some people use a simple dash because they don't require weird keyboard combinations to type it.

[(Anonymous)]

- So it's a Spanish thing! I love the intonation marks at the start of sentences.

[(Anonymous)]

They are super useful when reading something out loud.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I have never actually been more happy to submit a secret before, I have to say!
I never knew the em dash was used as a form of quotations! I looked up a number of different quotations when I made this secret, but I didn't happen upon this one.

I think I can recall it being used in a script format(?), but I'm curious about what specific notations it's used for, if you don't mind me asking?

The em dash —raya in Spanish— can be used instead of parentheses like I just did in this sentence, although it isn't necessarily the most common use. The main use of this symbol is dialogues.

—In dialogues, every time a character speaks it is marked by an em dash at the beginning of the paragraph.

—If there is an intervention by the narrator —explained Anon—, it is enclosed between em dashes.
