Many input mechanisms automatically substitute two hyphens with "–".
Including this very platform.
Lemmy will automatically render a double dash -- as an en dash, and a triple dash
as an em dash.
I usually just type alt + 0151, though, because I'm a nerd.
I use them all the time!
Hasn't word done this simce about offoce 2007? the autoformat as you type feature, specifically...
I only know this because I fucking hate it and have been religiously turning it off
Weirdly it usually turns hyphens into en dashes instead of em dashes from what I’ve seen, which makes no sense at all.
Wrong scene. This is almost literally in the blade runner sequel.

Em dash will sour your milk and lose your car keys. It will cause your socks to become odd pairs and fart in the lift when your crush alights. Em dash is responsible for the failure of the mars climate orbiter but ran a successful misinformation campaign against SI units.
I use em AND en dashes...
Finally, something worse than being broken up with via text.
