Funny enough, I avoided the em dash, because everyone was using hyphens and I didn't want forensic linguistics bored. Now that AI got my FBI agents on welfare and em dashed the internet kaputt, now that I am liberated, I can't tell an em dash and hyphen apart, hand–written in my diary.

I have mixed feelings about the liberation but am glad that there are at least two of us.

Em-dashes are very confusing to me, can never figure out if it is a emdash or a hyphen, so I avoid them altogether.

En dash either, apparently.

A hyphen is shorter.

It goes way beyond dashes, too.

It's very difficult to determine if the length is due to the font being used or due to actually being hyphen or emdash.
