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.

Oh, look at Mr./Mrs. Fancypants who prefers text2speech bots for breakup. /s

I use em dashes and emojis all the time. OMG, am I AI?
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.

Em dashes and emojis
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: --

It is on the mobile one
- dash — em,Correction:
- hyphen
– En dash
— Em dash
- hyphen

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.

"No conclusion whatsoever" is basically the scientific consensus on whether Dvorak has any effect on efficiency or typing speed. It's hard to get good data because it's hard to isolate other factors and a lot of the studies on it are full of bias or have really small sample sizes (or both).
To anyone thinking of learning Dvorak, my advice is don't. It takes ages to get good at, isn't THAT much better and causes a lot of little annoyances when random programs decide to ignore your layout settings or you sit down at someone else's computer and start touch typing in the wrong layout from muscle memory or games tell you to press "E" when they mean "." or they do say "." but it's so small that you don't know if it's a dot or a comma and then you hit the wrong one and your guy runs forward and you die...
That said, I'm also a Dvorak user and it is very comfortable and satisfying and better than qwerty. Just not enough to be worth all the pain of switching.

I actually like using em dashes because it's the correct thing to do. Also the Oxford comma, correct use of semi colon, and listing things in threes.
And the correct use of: the colon!
