edit - honestly not a troll. is it the specific formatting of “em” dashes? i know for sure we use them all the time. or at least i do. but they’re just dashes to me, so…

    This whole topic makes me realize I put disjointed thoughts in parentheses within other thoughts way too often. Maybe em dashes are literary functions for people with ADHD to write the way they think?

    /s, sort of, I would say I’m ADHD, but too stubborn to seek a diagnosis.

      Yeah idk. It’s one of those things I fix into proper sentence structuring when I feel like writing more formally. Otherwise there may just be random parenthesis (like this with interesting thoughts) cluttered in occasionally - sorta lazy.

      don’t worry - i do a lot of the same things (well, sometimes…). it’s all good - and the true beauty of language is the freedom to express it aS y0U w!sH!
