[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes. My DC has been working on an essay since January that’s an extended metaphor related to food and her chosen major. I thought it was creative but now it seems like a dime a dozen. Also, “three things clumped together” is how everyone writes, especially at work.[/quote] +2 listing 3 things in a row is very common in all writing. Em dashes are fine in essays, [b]especially if you are trying to reduce the word count. [/b]I wouldn’t use more than 2 or maybe 3 em dashes in the Common App personal essay though. [/quote] If you are messing with punctuation to harm the readability of your writing to manipulate word count, you are writing a bad essay. [/quote]
