Before the freak-out about em-dashes in AI-generated text I didn’t even know how to produce one. I’d just copy and paste them as needed. But since the Great Em-dash Emergency, I learned it’s quite easy, so now I use them more, not less. Anyone else own up to this experience? Is it proof we’re bots?

@writingslowly I use shift-option-hyphen on a Mac keyboard. On a phone keyboard I press and hold the hyphen, then pick the em-dash from the options (but I try pretty hard not to have to type that much on a phone keyboard).
