Why can't the title of the poem by Edgar Allan Poe to Frances Sargent Osgood be written in this question?
Poe's poem, "To F___s S. O___d" (To Frances S. Osgood) was originally typeset with em-dashes to disguise some of the letters in her name, but the WikiAnswers question field won't accept most punctuation marks. Unfortunately, the title won't reproduce properly in the answer box, either, but it originally looked something like this: "To F--s S. O--d" (those hyphens should be em-dashes, which are twice as long).
The title of the poem, written by Edgar Allan Poe to Frances Sargent Osgood, is "To F——." Poe used dashes to represent Osgood's name as a playful nod to her reputation as a poetess, emphasizing her anonymity and adding a mysterious allure to the dedication.
