Why should you stop? I prefer to use em dashes (when I'm on my PC. I used to know the alt code for it). I'm not going to stop using them. By the way, I put spaces around my em dashes, but I notice you (and ChatGPT) don't. Now I have to look up which is correct.
Please tell me with spaces is correct! It looks horrible without.
I'm sorry...
Dang. Well I'm going to continue to put spaces, because it looks nicer. If people can spell "all right" as "alright", then I can put spaces around my em dashes!
