Please help me clarify the different cases for use of commas, dashes (just found out they're called em dashes), and parentheses.
It seems that some of the distinction is ambiguous--or at least there is an option to use more than one. For example, just now, could I have used a comma or parentheses to separate the two clauses of the last sentence I wrote here. That's not the perfect example but I always feel unsure exactly about the nuances that govern this when writing academic papers.
Thanks a lot
