zeldmanAbandon the em-dash in your human writing?
The irony—and it’s a big irony—is that real writers use em-dash frequently, and for reasons. As a written signifier of verbal speech pauses, it means something different than what commas and semicolons mean. It connects while separating.
That’s why so many writers use em-dash when it is the best mark for the job. And chatbots use it because they were schooled on millions of writers.

Bruce MirkenCirca 1973, columnist Stewart Alsop wrote a very smart piece describing many of the Nixon administration figures involved in Watergate as "phony-tough": People who posture as tough guys and fiercely guard a tough image while making sure any actual risk falls on others. The #TrumpAdministration seems to be 100% staffed by the phony-tough, from #PeteHegseth to #Trump himself.
