Language help - what is this sign called?

[NAKID]

Yeah Nate, it's CLIFF'S NOTES....

[KnightofNi]

Go to school and learn Norwegian 

if you quit acknowledging it as a real language they will have to stop speaking their code.

Hey, you're one of the people that christened me with this name, I'm just trying to live up to it!

We were all hoping you'd lighten up.

Det er jo hyggelig at dere lurer på dette her, da - norsk er et kjekt lite språk, men ikke så utviklet og ordrikt som f eks engelsk. Vi trives med det så lenge vi kan, dog er det jo fler og fler som bruker engelsk i dagligtale - ikke umulig at det ender opp med et massivt press for like gjerne å bytte hovedspråk.

Vel vel, nå slutter jeg å prate med meg selv

[Holden]

I would like to take this opportunity to the distinguish the hyphen (-) from the en dash (–) and em dash (—).

That's not fair.

firefox says you misspelled all the words.

I'll say this - what's nice about Norwegian, Swedish and Danish is that they are Germanic languages, like English, and their grammar is near on identical to English. Learning is more a case of learning some vocab, and not having to learn all the bloody nasty verb conjugation (without rules) that dominates English  

Plus jentene elsker det.  

Anyway, back on topic.
- is a hyphen, colloquially a dash
/ is a 'solidus' or colloquially a forward slash

Technically you have have different length dashes e.g. an en-dash is the length of an n, whereas an em-dash is the length of an m. Hyphen is the short dash .

Off to work for me, now, kiddies. Play nice!

[stopintime]

Holden, you made it absolutely certain that hyphen is what I was looking for. Thanks
Now, let's hope US vendors understand

Nei, det gjorde jeg ikke  Nå begynner jeg å bli lei av han Ducatilakkereren Nate som på sitt idiotiske vis ikke skjønner litt enkel norsk engang. Som Ellingly skriver, Elling er forresten et kjent norsk navn, : det er jo faktisk ganske enkelt å lære.
Til tross for bindestreker --- og bokstavene Æ Ø og Å

No, I did not bang head Now I start to get tired of his Ducati Varnishes holder Nate as on his idiotic show not understand some basic Norwegian time. As Ellingly writes, Elling is the way a well-known Norwegian name: it's actually quite easy to learn.
Despite dashes --- and the letters Æ Ø and Å

I'm starting to get tired of you too.

I'm starting to get tired of you too.

How the make the beast with two backs did you find a translator to do that

You mean there are more parts than that one?
