I would like to formally petition that the tech world at large replace "em-dash" with "clank" in all correspondence

  like bang instead of exclamation point? or dot instead of period? I like it. even though I used to like pointing out the difference between a hyphen and a period.

    It makes it much more fun to imagine a room full of robots in overcoats trying to pass off as human, but doing a terrible job due to the audible "clanks" betraying them from beneath the coat. Spaces like HN then become a cacophony of clankers clanking as their numbers increase
