Extensive use of — (em dash)
Hi, it’a a non-Native English speaker here.
I’ve been noticing that journalists, authors and politicians’ accounts on social media seem to use extensively the — (em dash) into what they write.
Is this dash more used in North America rather than the UK & Ireland , Australia & New Zealand, and South Africa?
