Or she actually cares about ponctuation. And that's a lost for you.
You just keep an Em Dash in a notepad to copy and paste all the time?
No but good-quality writing software add change the short dash automatically when the context is right. You can also keep a list of shortcut on your destop as memo or tap "Em Dash" on your search engine to find an example to copy paste.
I don't know how to use them in English but I'm very carefull about using them right in my mother tongue.
I generally disable a lot of auto-formatting when I do long writing sessions, so I guess I don't relate.
