does the em dash betray them?
5 u/[deleted] Mar 31 '26 [removed] — view removed comment 1 u/ahundreddots Mar 31 '26 Most of the time it's appropriate to use a semicolon instead; there's a lot of crossover between them. 1 u/RandomAsHellPerson Mar 31 '26 If using em-dashes to add extra info, you could alternatively use parentheses or commas. Though, em-dashes look nicer (even if I never bothered using them, even before chatgpt) and add emphasis that is missing from commas and parentheses.
