    There’s no debate, no one real uses em dash. Where is the em dash key on the keyboard?

      Compose minus minus for me. I use it frequently.

      There are plenty of humans using em dash, how do you think large language models learnt to use them in the first place? NPR even did an episode on it called Inside the unofficial movement to save the em dash — from A.I.

      It turns out that modern software supports something called “Copy and Paste” that makes it easy to insert an em-dash whenever—and wherever—you want.
