One does not want to overuse anything, not commas, not dashes when used instead of commas, and, especially not, that delicate flower of punctuation: the semi-colon. I often have students who over-parenthesize when a comma or dash will do. I see that as a much more egregious offence than over-dashing. I can see the overuse discussion being part of the three bears series (in due course). Hey 8bit, I was catching up on your gaming blogs earlier tonight. Do you take on a particular voice or style in those blogs?
