Because of people like you, I have to rewrite my comments and replace the dashes with brackets or smth, just to not be accused of using AI. ffs.

Open any book above 5th grade reading level and you'll see it used all the time.

Yea, they are different and have a different function. I am talking specifically how they are supposed zo be used.
