    I don’t use AI much. Is it actually using two dashes? 'Cause an em dash is its own character: “—” vs --

    I had to put those in manually with the — html entity in the pre utf-8 web days.

      You’re right. I’ve always just typed two hyphens and called it good but technically it should be one long dash.

        Haha, yeah, I probably wouldn’t have learned to care that much if design clients didn’t yell at me about it 20 years ago.
