I'm so sorry your chat bot broke up with you :(

Finally, something worse than being broken up with via text.

Is this a thing? Shit, I’m now going to be self conscious about using the em.

If you're already breaking up over text, you probably aren't in a position to worry much about how they interpret your typography. And if they haven't noticed how you normally write there's even less reason to worry about it.

So you're saying if I start using the long dash people will block me faster?

Love it.
