To show a mastery of this mysterious piece of punctuation is to join the likes of writers at the New Yorker, Nobel laureates, and the elite who make up the world’s secret societies such as Yale’s Skull and Bones Society or Harvard’s Pelvis and Ligaments Club. Please read on, as I’ve prepared clear explanations on when and why to use this enigmatic symbol.
