Some folks actually were taught to use em-dashes as part of their normal writing, especially if you've taken a technical writing course.

I dislike that people think you're an AI if you're using proper typography. :(

Just writing multiple paragraphs with compound-complex sentences makes people think you're an AI. :(

		Given "AI" is over 50% of all content now, even if you flip a coin chances are pretty good some article contains slop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrTrOCQZoQE The Ubuntu repositories curate both the legacy and more modern logisim fork: sudo apt-get install logisim sudo snap install logisim-evolution Microcap 12 is also still available from the archive.org web cache, was made free, and runs in Wine64 just fine: https://web.archive.org/web/20230214034946/http://www.spectr... Microcap will handle both Analog and Digital simulations. KiCad now also supports Spice, and reports it should import the free LTSpice libraries. I have yet to find a use case for the kicad sim option... so YMMV. https://www.kicad.org/discover/spice/ Best of luck, =3

It might be "proper" but I never liked it.

Many proper uses of the em-dash put two words visually together—despite being parts of two distinct units separated by the em-dash.

I much prefer using a normal dash with a space on each side - like this.
