Shinobi 1977 I would never use a B for the "ss" symbol in German. That's just stupid. I think bands that use unnecessary accent symbols in their names are idiots. What's the difference between a dash and a hyphen?
In appearance, a dash is longer (double the size, I think). In use, hyphens are simply for between words (such as semi-colon) or sometimes just to show something's a prefix (homo- or bi-sexual). Dashes are used sort of like semi-colons, I suppose... I'm not the best person to ask about where to place semi-colons and dashes, unfortunately. For one thing, I'm not brilliant myself, for another, I'm even worse at explaining their use.
But I'm guessing you probably just meant appearance-wise, right?
Oh, and on the net, -- (double hyphen) is used for a dash ('cause cntrl+num pad - doesn't work).

Shinobi 1977 That's interesting. I just spell the words you mentioned as one long word: semicolon, bisexual, etc. Is this wrong? So for a dash, I'd want to use two hyphens, correct? -- Like that... Semi-colon I have never been able to firgure out. I prefer it with a hyphen, but I'm quite sure semicolon or even semi colon are equally correct. There are some words which need a hyphen though. If I owned Eats, Shoots & Leaves, I'd get you an example of its importance, but I don't have a copy so I can't. Bisexual, homosexual, asexual, etc. are single words, yes. I used the hyphen to show it was a prefix, as I was saying bisexual or homosexual, yet I shortened it to bi- or homo- sexual.
Double hyphen is a dash, yes (--).
