#Emdash

2026-02-25

"headed" heißt "geköpft"
"tailed" heißt "geschwänzt"

— das wäre logisch.

allerdings heißt es "beheaded" und "detailed".

Und das ist doch einfach nur #Gravy.

edit: da gehört natürlich ein #emdash hin.

🚀 Presenting Emdash: the -source agentic environment for when you've got too many 'coding agents' and not enough sense. 🤖 Because every dreams of wrangling infinite assistants instead of, you know, actually writing code. 🙄

The only people who denigrate em-dashes (or the authors who use them) are the clowns who have no idea what they're for.

It's easy to dismiss that which you don't understand - or that you don't even realize there is something to understand about.

Back when I wrote in Word and LaTeX, I would naturally use the em-dash all the time.

It's sad that it has become a marker of AI generated content.

In protest, I've converted all the hyphens in my blog to em-dashes.

Why Does A.I. Write Like … That?

Sam Kriss for the New York Times:

"""
According to the data, post-ChatGPT papers lean more on words like “underscore,” “highlight” and “showcase” than pre-ChatGPT papers [..] And “delve” [..] shot up by 2,700 percent.

Even with the proclivities of LLMs, I feel this way.

The distracted meme boyfriend: red dress woman is an em-dash, boyfriend is me, and the girlfriend is: comma, semi-colon, colon, period.

I can't say I have ever been in a 'men’s locker room for writers', but for en dashes and em dashes it isn't the size that matters, it is how you use it – but I do agree we should reclaim the em dash from ChatGPT!

So as someone who used em dashes before AI – how do we take them back?

AI가 긴 대시(—)를 남발하는 진짜 이유

AI가 긴 대시(—)를 과도하게 사용하는 이유를 추적합니다. GPT-4의 학습 데이터에 1800년대 후반 도서가 많이 포함되면서 그 시대 구두점 습관까지 배웠다는 흥미로운 가설을 소개합니다.

🚀 AI's affair with the is so intense even is blushing. 🤦‍♂️ Apparently, these models can't resist the urge to dash through text with such flair that mere mortals are abandoning it out of sheer embarrassment. 🤷‍♀️ Meanwhile, users are left scratching their heads in , trying to teach their bots to lay off the . 🤔

Kind of sad about reviewing my book on writing style of 10 years ago and finding out all I learned from it (yes, including the em-dash and antithesis) is all that AI has hijacked. I'm trying hard to ignore it, but I keep wondering what's worth adapting and what's worth rebelling for.

#AI #writing #writingstyle #emdash

I have never on my life used an #emdash i didn't know they existed until this year and i have less interest in learning how to use them than i do a semicolon
