Commas, parenthesis, and en-dashes.

Rules, as set out by Deb Thornton my English professor:

Dashes are used for yelling in sentences.
Commas and semi colons cast a casual or subtle emphasis,
Parenthesis bring down the text inside of them, things that can be skipped over if you need to read fast.

I never knew. Now you do too.
