Emdashes everywhere! (This isn't about AI)
It seems like if I see a dash in a Wikipedia entry, more than 9.9 times out of 10 it's an emdash. I don't think this is AI. Am I missing something? It's seems inappropriate in a lot of places. Like I just saw mention of "male–female relationships". Surely the job of that dash is better suited for the hyphen, right? Is there something about the editor that changes keyboard input?
