No one uses a dash. Perhaps you are thinking of a hyphen. – tchrist Nov 09 '14 at 20:58

Apologies. I meant a hyphen. – JFW Nov 09 '14 at 21:26

You can edit your post and replace dash with hyphen. Users on EL&U are sticklers for precision, but it's true the correct punctuation term is the one suggested by @tchrist. – Mari-Lou A Nov 10 '14 at 03:51

I think there may be a certain propensity for using the hyphenated form as an adjective, but not as a noun.
