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…

    my suspicion regards the usage. colloquially, we use these dashes interchangeably. nobody is measuring your dash size (unless maybe the president).

    the suspicion arrives when this formatting occurs under circumstances where the autocorrect kicks in.

    or maybe i’m just on crack. i’d appreciate any thoughts.

      to be fair, that’s some presidential level autocorrect if it thinks it knows how you should measure your dashes.

      i agree that in the internet, no one does (or at least, actively) try to measure them dash sizes.

      hmmm, any thoughts… huh these people and their cracks sure do love their long lines~
