I've been using it as well for a long while (though using option shift -), but I don't care what people think. I won't change my style to appease Temu Sherlocks, or anyone really. How I write doesn't change the value of the message. I invite you to join me in not giving a crap.

It wasn't clear from my comment, but I absolutely don't care and I'm going to keep typing how I type.
