I’m a fiction writer and I’ve always used M dashes and not because Chat GPT is doing my writing. I use Chat GPT for research and review. I’m sorry to read this.

Dont’t be, it’s common use and had been for ages in writing. Especially in fiction writing.

[[em dashes have been around for centuries, wielded by writers from Emily Dickinson to Vladimir Nabokov to add rhythm, emphasis, and personality to their prose]]

They have been aroud for ever practically- even before the typewriter was invented- they fell out of use because there was no em dash key n the typewriters back when.

This article and thread are about the em dash (also about the 2-em and 3-em dashes).
