How the hell do you even type an em dash?

I'm sure it's possible (I know it's easy on a touch keyboard), but if the person who sent it has never used em dashes in their life, then it's pretty definitive proof. Otherwise, it's just a big clue that you might combine with other factors.

right alt, then -, then -, then -

Considering that a comma has its own button, it's no wonder which one is preferred.

We could ask an LLM, but it’s probably bot a good idea given the post 😄
