I now use "ASCII em-dashes" by using two hyphens -- like this. Or--if you prefer no spaces--like this.

Nah, I’ve started noticing people doing this replacement automatically in LLM output. I just try not to write with dashes anymore.

Don’t you love when your arg dashes get autocorrected to emdashes? And by love I mean hate with the fiery passion of a thousand suns.

Agreed. On an iPhone that’s the easiest way to type an em dash and consequently the easiest way to fuck up trying to write out a command line example.
