This whole “em dash = AI” discussion had me worried for a minute. I thought I must be AI because I’ve been using em dashes—albeit sparingly—since before most mortals even knew AI was a thing.
"Go to your nearest café and look to your left, then to your right. A hundred percent of those people are slathering me across sentences like adding more cheese to a risotto that’s already drowning in parmesan."
The Em Dash Responds to the AI Allegations
“In recent months, a curious fixation has emerged in corners of academia: the em dash. More specifically, the apparent moral panic around how it is...

Did some scurryfunging of my own this weekend 😕
Word of the day (of course) is ‘scurryfunging’, from US dialect: the frantic attempt to tidy the house just before guests arrive.

But you don’t really want to be capsized (whelmed), do you?…
I can be overwhelmed or underwhelmed, but I can’t be whelmed.
Or, at least, I think theoretically I could but the way I have set up my life seems to have made it very difficult.
I would love to spend more of my life whelmed. Someone whelm me.

I haven’t been posting YouTube videos for a while to work on the Snap Language website, particularly the English as a second language portion of it. It’s been coming along well imo though it’s a lot of work.
