I started using double dashes -- like these right here -- because then it feels more like an intentional pause with some neat stylistic touch.

Mostly, I just write like I talk.

That's basically just em dashes, which these days will get you accused of being an LLM.

Only if you use a — instead of --, if they know what they’re talking about anyway.

My phone autocorrects them to — so that’s fun, lol.

Microsoft Word automatically converts a double dash to an em dash too

And Outlook. My quick sig is:

-- psud

But on Outlook it is

-- <ctrl-z>psud
