Em dash will sour your milk and lose your car keys. It will cause your socks to become odd pairs and fart in the lift when your crush alights. Em dash is responsible for the failure of the mars climate orbiter but ran a successful misinformation campaign against SI units.

Em dash will give your ex-boy/girlfriend your new phone number. Em dash will mix antifreeze into your fishtank. Em dash will drink all your beer and leave its socks out on the coffee table when there`s company coming over. Em dash will put a dead kitten in the back pocket of your good suit and hide your car keys when you are late for work.

Imagine writing your breakup in Office 2007... I mean, at least use a free and open-source software like LibreOffice.

But, it's a text, most likely written on mobile. If I got such text I would ask why they chose m dashes (to which I would get another llm answer)

I use those when writing literature, but because in Spanish it is what we use for dialogs.
