No. "normal people" call them hyphens. I think it is a mainly USian curiosity to call hyphens dashes. The Rest of the World calls hyphens, well, hyphens. It's only the US that call them dashes. I've no idea why that is.

[vacri]

people outside the US call them dashes as well, though perhaps not with the same frequency. ... --- ... is not 'dot dot dot hyphen hyphen hyphen dot dot dot', for example

Token English person here. I called them dashes until I moved to Japan where no-one understands what I mean if I call them dashes.
