    reminds me of that one guy complaining that everyone is calling them an AI when AI was trained on their grammar style.

      This happened to the female speaker with her voice, which I find terrifying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qO0WvudbO04 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qO0WvudbO04

      On macOS, Option+Shift+- and Option+- insert an em dash (—) and en dash (–), respectively. On Linux, you can hit the Compose Key and type --- (three hyphens) to get an em dash, or --. (hyphen hyphen period) for an en dash. Windows has some dumb incantation that you'll never remember.

        Alt+0151 or WIN+SHIFT+-, but I can't seem to make the WIN+SHIFT+- combo work in browser, only in a text editor.

        For Windows it's just easier to make a custom keyboard layout and go to town with that: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=102134 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=102...

          I prefer the linux compose-key style: https://github.com/samhocevar/wincompose https://github.com/samhocevar/wincompose

        On MacOS and iOS, two dashes (i.e., the -- characters) automagically turns into an em dash (—). No special commands needed.
