- LoganDark 7mo agoThat's an en-dash.
- loloquwowndueo 7mo agoSorry! Is this ok? —
- singpolyma3 7mo agoYou're absolutely right. That is an em dash
- LoganDark 7mo agoYou're absolutely right. They are absolutely right

- rcxdude 7mo agoI assume they were aping those terms ironically (especially given the 'you're absolutely right')
- loloquwowndueo 7mo agoBusted!!!! Staccato (too may short sentences with periods) is also a telltale for me. Most humans prefer longer sentences with more varied punctuation; I, for example, am a sucker for run-on sentences.
