Comment on A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 hours agoThis is a bad take. I use em dashes if I feel it’s called for. It’s just proper grammar. We probably shouldn’t be making people dumb down the way they write so as to not be mistaken for AI.
Read some books, you’ll see that it’s used all of the time.

I use dashes all the time, but em-dashes? I don’t even know how to type those. I guess I could long-press the dash on my phone and select it, but… why?

Because that’s how typography works? Why do you capitalize the first letter in each of your sentences?
