Dvorak. It's a person's name, so only the first letter is capitalised.
Anyway, that article uses a lot of words to come to...basically no conclusion whatsoever. I don't know why anyone would link it when trying to make any sort of a point.

The most damning thing about your sentence is that you think emojis are stereotypically used by AI, which seems like an AI hallucination because I've never heard of that but you confidently asserted it as true.

Another take:
She feels bad about it, wrote a incoherant babbling mess of run-on sentences and incoherant rants about your relationship, she then re-read it and found it to be disproportionately mean and possibly hurtful, She then shoved it all into an LLM and prompted:
I'm breaking up with my boyfriend. This is all my natural heartfelt take on the situation <inserts text>, but I find the tone to be callous, angry, and hurtful. Can you please reword this to make the reader feel less attacked, possibly up to and including removing grievances, but at the same time making it clear that this decision is final and that I'd like to part ways amicably, and also that he's not getting his dog back.

They're just riffing off of the description of the post presumably?

Including this very platform.
Lemmy will automatically render a double dash -- as an en dash, and a triple dash --- as an em dash.
I usually just type alt + 0151, though, because I'm a nerd.
test, ignore:
--
"--"
dash: --

My keyboard does not have an em dash and I have never seen one that does.
Still sus.
Right CTRL + ---(right CTRL is my compose touch) -
You can pry my em dashes — which I use regularly in writing because I love them — from my cold dead hands (To be fair, I really like parenthetical statements too, could be an ADHD thing).
I've been using em dashes for years. I learnt the alt code for them, because using hyphens for dashes looks awful (before that I'd do the double hyphen for an em dash). Also, like me, I notice you put spaces around the em dashes, which is apparently incorrect, but also according to me is the right way to do it.

Well at least you're safe from suspicion.
You should try to find someone to better you (^_^)

The English language is so fucked.

Annoyingly I've used them for a number of years as a good way to make internet comments flow a bit more. However I find myself doing it less and less now because I'm worried people are just going to think I'm using an AI if they see an em dash.
(You just long press dash on android to get to it, opt+shift+dash on Mac, and the admittedly Byzantine alt+0151 on windows. Can't remember iOS off the top of my head, but I think it's similar to android)
I use them all the time. I typically have -- auto correct to — so its super easy

the actual emdash symbol isn't really something you can do when texting from your phone
wrote last edited by [email protected]You actually can – just long-press the dash.
En-dash: –
Em-dash: —
Dot: •You can also do proper ellipses by long-pressing the full stop…
And long-press most letters for more options: ă é ï ø û æ œ ç ñ $ £ €
Pretty much everything is in there.

There's even the en-dash, the hyphen and the minus sign, which are theoretically all typographically distinct.
