in reply to Allan Haverholm • • •I just now saw your original post. Oops.
I think the people that claim any em-dashes have to be the work of AI have never actually used a word processor, let alone have never actually written anything of substance other than a comment on Reddit or a post on 4chan.
Word even will translate "---" into an em-dash. So will other software.
You can easily type an em dash on a Mac keyboard with the Option key.
On Windows I used to use "WinCompose" to easily insert an em dash.
Maybe I'm dating myself here (53) but when I was in high school and learning how to type we were taught there were three common types of dashes.
A "dash" (-). Used for hyphenating words.
An "en dash" (--). Used for a "series":
And an "em dash" (---). Used for various typographical purposes.

I admit em dashes may be stylistically over the top for a 500 character tweet or toot, but they've crept in from my other, longer writing. That's not an apology, just a clarification 🙂
Funnily enough, I find that en and em dashes are more easily available on my (Android) phone keyboard than on physical computer keyboards. Ive had to setup my own shortcuts for them on my laptop.

In Word, --- on a line by itself is translated to a section separator line going the whole page width.
-- in the middle of a sentence with a letter directly after with no space becomes what I thought was an em-dash. Is it really just an en-dash?
-vs–vs—It's hard to tell.
From Word:
–Well, dang: it's been an en-dash the whole time.
