Yeah exactly, I use em dashes, and somewhat expected to be on the leaderboard :-) But I type them as two hyphens --
On my desktop, the two hyphens remain literal. But on iOS, it turns into an em dash I think. Although it seems like I get the smart quotes more often than the em dash
Something like 16 years ago I added a custom filter to my WordPress functions.php to convert "--" to a proper emdash in the output. If I had a nickle for every emdash in my back catalog I could finally buy that detached backyard office I've always wanted.
