There are 3 major strands of monotheism: a) Atenism in Egypt (c. 1350 BCE) b) Israelite / Hebrew c) Zoroastrianism in Persia While some scholars (like Freud) have proposed a link between (a) and …

One thing I've always loved about Apple's OSs is that they will render an em dash if you press-and-hold the hyphen key. Great accessibility.
