The — character is the biggest cause of suspicion. It's difficult to type manually so most people - myself included - substitute the easily typed hyphen.
I know real people do sometimes use it, but it's a smell.

Curious if any browsers do. This comment was typed in Brave, which doesn't appear to, but I didn't check if Chrome or IE or Opera does.
