literally unusable if you don’t want to be seen as an illiterate chatgpt monger. so depressing. I’m tired of using semi colons and commas in their stead, they’re just too clunky in certain situations. burn the data centers down. fuck and when all actual writers have switched over, like I have (not calling myself a writer fyi), then the ai will just start using those instead. nothing good comes from generative, recreational ai. opium crisis of our times, no use. genuinely, no use. fuck them all. fuck the child herder elon and his (possibly) bastard son peter thiel. karp fuck you too
You shouldn’t care so much what other people think about your writing style–makes life easier. Only negative people will bother you about it, the last type of MFer you should be taking criticism from.
Why don’t you just use the - though? I never understood the need to remember the HTML code for the emdash when there’s a dash on my keyboard.
Is this like a English major habit?
Usually when people us em dashes they just type a double hyphen: – . I think in Word and similar programs that auto-corrects to being an em dash. Either way, it makes the text more legible since single hyphens already have several different uses.
I can’t speak for whiskers165 but I can type an em dash by hitting shift+altgr+hyphen, and I use it because mmmmmm longboie
The irony of using an EN dash in this comment about EM dashes
