* '''Oppose'''. Like SchroCat said, hyphens and dashes do different tasks. This was worked out in print world well before WP (or computers) came along, and just because mechanical typewriters didn't have a "dash" key shouldn't restrict us. As far as that goes, many early typewriters did not have "1" (one) keys; should we thereore eschew "1" characters? ♦ [[User:J. Johnson|J. Johnson (JJ)]] ([[User_talk:J.
