 I'm not sure how obvious this will be when viewed but the issue is that it
 is possible (through cut & paste perhaps) to have a long dash included in
 the title of a post. It actually looks better that way and doesn't seem to
 get url encoded.  And it remains intact when the text is cleaned.

 So if the blog is titled:
 Grades 9 – 12: Math Foundational Skills

 instead of
 Grades 9 - 12: Math Foundational Skills

 The url becomes:
 grades-9-–-12-math-foundation-skills

 Instead of
 grades-9-12-math-foundation-skills

 So slugs would do this on links and categories too. Anything that uses
 that same clean functionality.
