I actually like using em dashes because it's the correct thing to do. Also the Oxford comma, correct use of semi colon, and listing things in threes.
If it's not on the keyboard, it must not be that important to use.
It is on the mobile one
The mobile keyboard has many obscure keys that no one uses♦→★ | dont th¡nk it should count
It was not on mine - lol and behold, I got all three. All I had to do was hold on the dash.
Ain't nobody got time for that.
I enjoy that as an expression. 🙃
Hey, mine too, TIL! Yeah, I'm not ever gonna bother with that since I don't write formal papers on my phone.
Correction:
AltGr Shift Dash: Bonjour*
*: Assuming ur running on Penguins.
And the correct use of: the colon!
Okay, but why would it be more correct than a different dash? Do you not believe in the evolution of language, you want everyone to revert back to 1960s English?
