Should not the hyphens near the beginning be either n-dashes with spaces or m-dashes without? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash#Types_of_dash
Thanuir, I agree it looks unusual. On the internet, I would expect space-hyphen-hyphen-space, like:
We are -- if a man of forty can claim that privilege -- fellow members
In the article you cite, the section "Approximating the em-dash with two or three hyphens" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D...three_hyphens)
it seems to me they are saying no spaces--like this--would be normal (that two hyphens directly replace an em dash). That doesn't look right to me.
One can also copy-paste the correct dashes, at least on a computer: — –
So, my understanding is:
We are – if a man of forty can claim that privilege – fellow members of the world's largest younger generation.
Or (to me ugly, but a matter of convention):
We are—if a man of forty can claim that privilege—fellow members of the world's largest younger generation.
