Living heritage e.g. in Ireland (2025)

 

Creating a couple of heritage and cultural heritage playlists on Youtube tonight go me thinking so I put 

the below question into ChatGPT. Hmm...

Writing – DJP (2025)

 

I did Honours English and Honours Irish in school and studied Journalism in college for three years 

twenty years ago and only learned recently from ChatGPT of the difference between a hyphen and the 

two dashes! It's a small thing but to use them correctly can make your writing look more 

professional I think! I have started to use the en dash recently, I am yet to use the em dash, but I am not

going to be too rigid about using it because while I think using it often looks a bit more professional in 

some situations I think it looks a bit too much. I am only learning this though so don't quote me on the 

area. :)


The different dashes often don't display on Blogger like on the heading of this post.


Update: I have updated many of my titles on my Youtube channels from plain hyphens to en 

dashes. I am not  going  to edit every file I have done on Youtube even just for the titles as I have not 

far off 1,000 files on  Youtube. I updated - all my playlists titles; all the podcasts titles in my Dáil 

playlists; and all the titles of the podcatsts in my current main channel, last channel, some of the 

previous channel and all of my small Youtube channels (both active and inactive channels).


+ I have updated my Wikimedia accounts (Wikipedia, Vicipéid, Wikimedia Commons and Wikiquote)  

and Linktree account which didn't take long.

Real quotes vs paraphrased quotes on the internet incl. Wikiquote (Wikimedia) - DJP (2025)

 

As a note I have started to check more before I post a quote from someone on this blog now. I 

have been doing so for years to some extent but I have started to do more now recently particularly 

with quotes from some people that are likely to often be paraphrased.


See below from my Facebook from last week to find out more what I mean.
