I see you placed spaces around your em dash, which is the AP way. Which I'm using to segue to this completely off-topic question, because you actually know these things: I see you did not use a proper em dash (I don't judge). Does the AP Style Manual see that as an em dash, different than an en dash and from a hyphen, or is it just a dash? I don't think the Style Manual ever uses the term em dash and doesn't necessarily differentiate. What would your journalism professor say?

I know, I know - who cares? I do!
