        @glyph Did you know that the 3M dash was invented by accident when they were trying to make a really strong adhesive?

                        When you really want to emphasize that the dash represents a moment of silence when read out loud

                                  @glyph I see this turbo-dash in Chinese a lot, to distinguish it from the common character 一, but it does make the pauses feel more dramatic to me

                                        I have lately upgraded my em-game by learning to free hand type Unicode-chars with CTRL+SHIFT+u followed by codepoint and then ENTER. Em-dash is 2014 for example. Works on Debian at least 🙂
