      I like em dashes. I learned the alt code for en and em dashes just so I could use them easily on a computer. There is a difference between a hypen and an en dash, and a double-hyphen is but a simulacrum of the em dash!

      • Hyphen is just for double-barrelled words
      • An en dash is useful – at least sometimes – for inserting side thoughts
      • ah boy I sure hope an em dash doesn’t interrupt m—

      But let’s be real, I type kinda formally, like an AI, sooo

        I am not convinced. Sending you to the crypto mines where all AI belong. See you in ten thousand years.
