------- Additional comments from settan...@openoffice.org Wed Jan 27 23:07:37 +0000 2010 ------- How is an em dash before closing quotes "... the most common application ..." in writing? I know of no occasion when this would be so. If one is attempting to show that a citation is only a part of the entire passage, then the ellipsis (...) should be used. The only real use of an em dash is to indicate a parenthetical explanation or comment, or to indicate a long pause. Since the normal (and correct) usage (in English at least) is between two words in the middle of a sentence, and since it works fine in that situation, IMO the current target seems fine. It would appear that those having this problem are actually misusing the em dash. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
