My favorite punctuation marks:
1. (Parenthesis)
2. Question mark?
3. Ellipses...
4. Dash --
5. "Quotation marks"
6. Ampersands &
7. Asterisk*
8. Hyphen (but only when creating made-up hyphenated words)
9. Semi-colon;
10. Colon:
11. Backslash/
(Not a dork, not a dork, not a dork...)
I assume that by "dash," you mean the M-dash? The one that acts as a sort of lesser parens and greater comma? Not the N-dash, to which you allude later in your "hyphen."
