I sometimes have a closing dash and sometimes not

/And/ let's not forget that one often has what is semantically a pair of parenthetical dashes, either the opening or the closing component of which is eaten up by the beginning or the end of the sentence, resp. These punctuation rules are rarely made explicit, if ever – but they are pervasively applied.

(And, replace "--" by "–" in my prev email.)
