Hi Friends!
This is a little complex.
This is an example using both em dash and comma. Please do let me know whether both forms are okay.
1) He tried to create a little wealth[FONT="]—[/FONT]and a little security[FONT="]—[/FONT]in that situation.
2) He tried to create a little wealth, and a little security, in that situation. (the reason for comma is because I want a pause after wealth).
What I mean is: em dash creates a nice pause and THEN we add 'a little security' right after that. Can we also use comma in its place to create a similar effect?
Thanks,
Mr. X
