I'll join in here - I noticed this, but thought it might be my faulty eyesight, so said nothing. No, it is not a joke. > (I've never encountered this before.) > What character is this '-' ? That looks to me like a hyphen. It is shorter than EM DASH and EN DASH. I only have underscore and hyphen on my keyboard and would have to ask or google how to type either EM DASH or EN DASH. > It's the only key on this keyboard. Try retyping the command.
