    There's a difference between (this—this) and (this--this).

    I will always use the latter because I am not bothering with typing allat.

    I am not AI. Probably.

        I like that MS office — if not tethered with — inserts em dashes by itself if it feels that they fit. Unlike the Reddit post maker window.

            Now i see why people suspect that em dash = ai, that's a lot of em dash.

            I use em dash all the time instead of parentheses or semicolons. I also really struggle with captchas.

            I’m beginning to doubt myself.

                There are three:

                • hyphen - separate parts of compound words
                • n-dash – used for ranges; often replaced by hyphens
                • m-dash — used as a replacement for parentheses or semicolons

                In flat text, use two hyphens for the m-dash and one for both hyphens and n-dash.

                  This is entirely AI, it's a begging operation.

                    I hate that, I always loved my em-dashes, and I'll continue to use them — even if that means I look like an AI!

                          Even if you ignore the copy/paste, this dude's casually mentioning he's looking to earn a $240,000 salary in a gig subreddit...

                          EDIT: ₹240,000. In rupees. Thank you for the corrections! I haven't had my coffee yet...

                            That's actually closer to $2,790

                              ₹240,000. That's like less than $3,000 US.

                                I use that for lists. Double hyphen is also more distinct.

                                      I have a script that turns this -- into this — on my computer, but tbf I'm probably an AI so that tracks.

                                      Honestly might want to consider stopping using the script now. Double hyphens seems more human, at least for the time being

                                        The two dominant style guides in the U.S. (Chicago Manual of Style and the A.P. Stylebook) prescribe no spaces around em dashes. When I do professional writing I default to Chicago, so I learned to eventually omit spaces around em dashes. That's still my main way of distinguishing myself, for now.

                                          Oh it's interesting! In French typography (which I use in English if I don't know this language's rule), there's a normal space between the main text and the dash, and a non-breaking space between the dash and the inclusion. But I may turn to Chicago, now that I know that.
