I went into my text editor, then used a find-replace tool to replace “--“ and “---“ with the appropriate dashes I copied from a character map website. Manually: with my good ‘ole hands mouse and keyboard. I realise that some grammar can just seem like LLM slop, that’s kind of what they have been designed to output. This is why I went out of my way to add that disclaimer at the end.

I enjoy using em and en dashes for punctuation. They provide a nice break that’s not quite a comma, of which I already have way too many, because I tend to overthink grammar.

I’m sorry my writing style is not appealing to you, but don’t accuse me of publishing AI slop, that’s a shitty thing to do.
