a: The dash ~
b: the Wild West of punctuation
What: "The dash is like the Wild West of punctuation. It has no rules. As a writer, I overuse it. I commit other grammatical crimes, too, like my regular use of the sentence fragment, but there's nothing like a dash to liven up a paragraph." A whole discussion on what this element of grammar is all about.
