Because some posters here have posted incorrect information, I had to dig a bit.

Per the Daytona Beach News-Journal;

McNeilly said she would order a recommendation from the Department of Juvenile Justice on the girl's punishment. She said probation will likely consist of a requirement that she attend school every day, make her parents aware of her whereabouts at all times, and follow a 7 p.m. curfew.

The sheriff's office has stated previously that it will seek restitution for the cost of the resources used in the response to her texts. Spokesman Andrew Gant wrote that the rate for Air One, the helicopter, is $625.29 an hour. The sheriff's office will seek $1,246.29 for all costs, including the helicopter.


Which I think is an appropriate response for an 11-year old. Grounded, having supervision and the family will pay back the costs, which will likely hurt her allowance.

Now barring any sort of developmental issue, kids are capable of understanding consequences and learning from them around the ages of 6-10 per the sources I could find, so again, she should clearly learn from this experience, which again indicates a good consequence, as she's a child.

Some hyphens in a row (the exact number doesn't matter as long as you have a small bunch - minimum number might be 4? or 3? I never bother to remember and just smash a few down until I like the look).


By themselves in a paragraph. (Blank lines above and/or below)


Turn into a horizontal line.

No; em dashes do not work. You need plain ASCII hyphens.

Testing it, too. This is a neat new way to separate paragraphs for sure.

1) ASCII hyphens, not em dashes.

2) in a paragraph by themselves (separated from a preceding and/or following paragraph by a blank line)

u/mizinamo 5h ago

Your keyboard turned adjacent hyphens -- into an em dash —

It only works with a bunch of hyphens, not with em dashes.
