Well my Canadian parents read it as dash.

So i guess it dash in canada and hyphen in merica

 

A hyphen joins two words, and of course steam and gamers are two words ergo steam-gamers

 

A dash is punctuation used to come between words in a sentence.

 

Example: Erik and I went to the park - and he tripped over a rock.

The Hyphen

 

Basically, the hyphen is the shorter mark that is often used to link two or more words together. It can sometimes be seen at the end of a line to break up a whole word that won’t fit into the space. For example:

user-friendly | part-time | jump-start | well-known | up-to-date | back-to-back | next-to-last

Note that a hyphen never has spaces on either side.

There is a lot of debate and confusion regarding which words can be hyphenated, and also some more advanced rules that can by found on the hyphen page.

 

The Dash

 

The Dash is the longer line used as punctuation in sentences – coming in between words (as in this sentence). It can also be used – as here – in pairs. For example:

Paul sang his song terribly – and he thought he was brilliant!

He’s won the election—granted, there was only a low turnout—but he’s won!
