a: The dash ~
b: perfume
What: "The em dash is all about interruption and directional changes in sentences. Do not overuse them. They become a crutch, a way to make language more expressive or to control the flow or pace. The em dash is like perfume. A little perfume is gorgeous and alluring. A lot of perfume is off-putting and gross."
