I've vouched for it so you should be unflagged. This place is a bit twitchy sometimes.

My apologies - just be careful, your comment seemed only related to the title and not the content of the article, it looked a lot like spam. The dash is fine, don't worry about it.

I use both quite often. The apostrophe from a young age and the em-dash from my locally hosted alternative to grammarly which auto-corrects for me - making it easy to use as it doesn’t exist on my keyboard as a built-in. If it existed on my keyboard, I would use it by default.

(Noticeably absent is the em-dash in this message because my grammarly alternative is a chrome extension and I’m currently responding from my mobile device that does not have it.)

I use em dashes—chiefly to express parenthetical thoughts—all the time. Sadly, there’s no foolproof system for identifying machine-generated text. Happily, it means one less thing to worry about.

I often use ’ and –. What's wrong with that?

Correct punctuation marks, you mean?

Humans use them too, you know. I've used the em dash (—) and opening/closing single quote characters (‘’) ever since I read Butterick's Practical Typography.

Yeah - if you double hyphen — iPhone auto corrects to that character. It works for ranges 0–100 too— you can’t really count on proper en-and-em-dash usage to identify llm generated text. Could just be a typography wonk. ;]
