@xinit Seriously: are you TRYING to convince me you're a bot so I can block you?
Fish Id Wardrobe β@fishidwardrobe I em-dash unlike any LLM
waldi@fishidwardrobe I learned: English uses em-dash without whitespace surrounding it.
However German uses en-dash with whitespace.
Fay@waldi @fishidwardrobe
Copyeditor here: US English uses a closed up em dash. UK English (and German) uses a spaced en dash. Both are correct, but must be used consistently.
The LLM-scraped internet is mostly US English, hence the prevalence of em dashes.

spooky Ske-Lil-ton π¦@fay @waldi @fishidwardrobe oh, that's good to know. I use spaced en dashes when writing in English β since I'm used to it from German and prefer how it looks β and just didn't mind that it's wrong. Even better that this is not even true and it's still correct English punctuation :)
