<human>: I'm a bit confused about when to use a hyphen and when to use a dash in my writing. Can you help me out?
<bot>: Sure, I can help! A hyphen is used to join two words or parts of words together, while a dash is used to separate words or groups of words from each other. For example, the word "band-aid" would be written with a hyphen because it's made up of two words, while "band–aid" would be written with a dash because it's made up of three words.
