I use em-dashes pretty often--it's a nice way to transition phrases...

You're using two en dashes to approximate it -- few people have the en dash character on hand.

People that care have it on hand. Option+Shift+dash on mac.

Everyone who uses a compose key has it available (via ---) — I do. You mean the em-dash though, not the en-dash, and Davidzheng is using hyphens for approximation, not en-dashes.
