I'm surprised no one has brought up the excessive waste of energy that has occurred when m-dashes have been misused when the correct character should have been an hyphen or an n-dash. Those additional pixels have no doubt contributed to kilograms of mankind's carbon footprint.

Not to mention the extra key strokes required to type an em dash! They have surely accelerated the onset of people's carpal tunnel syndrome by as much as a couple of minutes.

Will no one think of the wrists?!
