➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Oh, don't get me wrong, I swoon when I see an artistically used colon or a well-timed apostrophe too... but nothing compares to the glory, the impression, and the, er, 'dash' of an em dash.
Then we needn't fight. I believe the semicolon to be superior to all others; however, I can respect your opinion.

Of course, the semicolon is used wrongly far more frequently than the dash is; that may affect my perception when I see it used correctly.

@TheKindaFarmGal has a thing for periods at the ends of sentences. apparently people dont use them enough

The apostrophe, when properly used, has its advantages as well.

You may be correct on that—still, have you seen the ways people force dashes to do the work of at least three other marks without a second thought? It's painful to watch.
