    1. They did it right now which is well after the fact was established, on Lemmy out of all places where demographics obviously lean towards people that know this.
    2. It’s mostly transcriptions of physical books and academic papers rather than people who digitally use the right alt key.

      The em dash is incredibly easy to access and use on mobile, so there’s no need to memorize an alt code or copy-paste it from the internet or whatever.

          You really are obsessed, aren’t you? You’re in for a wild ride when bots can pass for people, physically, in-person 😯

      I use the em dash a lot. The codepoint is 2014 for the em dash and 2015 for the en dash. It’s quite easy to remember.
