I can handle all forms of punctuation: comma, period, colon, semicolon, question mark, apostrophe, exclamation, even a cheeky backslash if the quote feels so inclined. But I cannot deal with the dash- that horrible, sneaky little son of a gun lying right in the top corner of the keyboard. That fellow is my mortal enemy. And numbers. I can't stand numbers. If I ever encounter a quote talking about a 18-year-old or something of that ilk again, I swear to the good Lord I'll go utterly ballistic!
