Hasn't word done this simce about offoce 2007? the autoformat as you type feature, specifically...
I only know this because I fucking hate it and have been religiously turning it off
Weirdly it usually turns hyphens into en dashes instead of em dashes from what I’ve seen, which makes no sense at all.
Ah, I've probably confused them all along
Imagine writing your breakup in Office 2007... I mean, at least use a free and open-source software like LibreOffice.
Imagine getting broken up with via Clippy.
When I breakup, I like to be brutal
But, it's a text, most likely written on mobile. If I got such text I would ask why they chose m dashes (to which I would get another llm answer)
Brilliant point!
