I'm a big fan of the em dash too. Though I also love a good use of the colon.

I've tried to train it out of using em dashes and I've been supremely unsuccessful.

Have you considered just … you know… not using it?

Ditto, since I do NOT use them in my writing I don't want to start. My husband apparently is a big fan. I'm constantly having to say "now redo this without the dashes"

Haha I found it in my first search of recent writing. Behold!

My writing is littered with em dashes! ChatGPT learned to write from us, Christopher. 😈

Can’t wait for those royalties from S. Altman!

Leave it to Rachel Lambert to come up with the BRILLIANT reframing! ✨
