I was an English major in college and NEVER heard of using - for ANY kind of punctuation

Please don't embarrass yourself any further; the em dash is a legitimate punctuation mark.

Maybe just say that you were sick on the day that was discussed.

It was NEVER discussed and actually, it was assumed that we knew how to correctly use punctuation, when we wrote anything and we did.

Yes, it was spoken about, but NOBODY mentioned using -, instead of/in place of: () , : ; ! And we even covered using "...". But thanks for proving just how little you understand what courses English majors did have to take; your uneducated post proves that nobody should talk about things they don't know about nor understand at all.
