I liked using em dashes, but now I've stopped. I'm ecen less likely to fix minor spelling and grammatical errors that I otherwise would've, because at least it will be easier to recognize a human behind the comment or post.

Also, signing my name like this helps too: ,,,.),,,.)==============D~~~~~~~

    You can still have the same function using a hyphen. How do you even type an em dash on a standard keyboard?

    I assume compose is meant to be a key? What key is compose?

    The Compose key.

    If you don't have a compose key, well, you should have one. You can define it easily in the Kde control center. I suppose there's the equivalent in Gnome.

    It was introduced by Sun. It's very convenient.
