Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over?
oh no, that em dash…
I use the em dash constantly, and have done for years, so finding out it’s a big “this was written by AI” indicator makes me sad — I’m not an AI user, I just like the way it looks!
You can do the things all GenX people learned on typing class, the double hyphen.
Also, we double space after periods. That’s a hard but of muscle memory to get out of my head.

The double space automatically ages you. Ageism….
Same. I use it very occasionally for parenthetical phrases because I just think it’s the most appealing way to do so.
If it’s any consolation, it’s heavily biased in the training data for a reason, you’re not alone
