On: The melancholy decline of the semicolon

[Pxtl]

It can't be accidental that the article has multiple paragraphs where they use an em dash where a semicolon would've also been appropriate.

It uses an em rule where an en rule would have been correct: em rules are not surrounded by spaces.

I'm not giving in to the UK's bastardization of the en dash! The em dash was correct, it's just the spaces are wrong.
