    Yeah, same. Long-time user of an em-dash—love a cheeky en-dash in my ranges too. But now LLMs are using them all the time, out of context, and with spaces on either side.

    Is nothing safe?! Next it’ll be semicolons!

      Yeah, what’s with the spaces? I’ve been an emdash slut for 20 years, but I’ve never put spaces on either side. I’ve also scarcely seen anyone else do that, until LLMs became popular.
