In fact, I even added an em dash shortcut to my Logitech POP keyboard. That’s dedication. See? — — — — —
I’m not just writing like this—I’ve industrialized it.
If it sounds like a chatbot, maybe it's because I have spent too much time training them and not enough time pretending to be a chaos monkey in HN threads.
Appreciate the feedback though.
Now excuse me while I reboot into Windows just to add and to my custom shortcuts.
I have still got one more slot—what do you think I should add?
Go wild. Bonus points if it makes someone uninstall the gem out of pure emotional confusion.
As someone else who appreciates em dashes—deploying them judiciously for many years, I too am plagued by people suddenly perceiving my natural writing style as suspect.

Feel you.
I'm not sure if I'm on HN or LinkedIn Lunatics now.
This thread is getting a bit scary, are you okay?
Weird.
