Should have snuck an em dash in there if you really want to rile people up
I'm glad I finished school before the AI era—I put an em dash and a semicolon in the same sentence at least twice in a given paper; this would get flagged every flipping time nowadays.
Lol same... I used to have the alt code for em dash memorized (back when I used Windows)
Same. As an extremely verbose and descriptive writer, I take umbrage at the whole em dash debacle. Can't a man even punctuate anymore!?
