You will pry my em dashes from my cold — and dead — hands. I had them before AI was conceived and I’ll have them long after it’s gone.

@dramypsyd Technically your em-dashes are wrong. em-dashes are generally not meant to be surrounded by spaces—unlike en-dashes, which the Germans use for speaking their German language – a truly marvelous one, probably.

Practically, have fun! Rules for language don't matter.

@divVerent @dramypsyd I am an ex-small-time editor, and for practical and aesthetic reasons think that consistently wrapping em- and not en- dashes in whitespace is the better option.

@DamonHD @dramypsyd I also prefer em-dash with spaces, despite being wrong. Just looks better and matches the purpose of the dash more.
