Had a managing editor at a university press once tell me that he even thought putting an em dash after a comma was acceptable, as one sees often in works from, say, 100 to 150 years ago. Not sure I agree with that either, but since he was sending me work, I didn't see fit to disagree.czarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10887869458750797012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090979633822979041.post-66901393772847566812011-05-28T13:49:27.928-04:002011-05-28T13:49:27.928-04:00I am a promiscuous dash and parentheses user, so f...I am a promiscuous dash and parentheses user, so found this interesting.
