It looks like a math equation to me.

Wrong planet minus autism equals good.

Given this is a website for autistic people, it makes no sense to me.

I think pretty much everybody who has logged onto this website has noticed it. It's been the tagline for a while now, hasn't it?

Yeah, - in literature is used as a break or pause, especially on the internet. In this instance, I believe it replaces a comma, which is also used in coding and can cause problems in the Title meta tag on some browsers, I believe. However, I don't remember the question-mark being there.

It's kind of how like you would state music

Title of the song - Album - Artist
Freak On A Leash - Follow The Leader - Korn

for instance.

In linux/unix command shell, this would be replaced by a |.

Yeeeah, they should change that to a colon just so there's no confusion or less of it anyway. D:

Something about it just doesn't quite seem right but I can't seem to figure out why? :lol:
But it certainly did surprise me when Alex decided to just put it there,

That's funny. The question mark is there because it's in the title of this thread.
