Now that AI has ruined the emdash for punctuation enthusiasts like us... I've been thinking of switching to the double emdash (⸺) and worst case, fellow humans, there's always the triple: ⸻
Speaking of pause. I like double period for pause.. it’s like a more polite and shorter pause than the DOT DOT DOT that screams awkwardness and doubt.
But I agree that triple em-dash for pause is not half bad either. I could see it becoming a thing, with how it goes the opposite direction and is so over the top :)
Starting to look like Emacs Lisp source code now, coding standards for which include snake-casing identifiers (standard for Lisp), but since there's no notion of namespacing in the language, identifiers private to package foo start with 'foo--', not 'foo-'.
