Imagine writing your breakup in Office 2007... I mean, at least use a free and open-source software like LibreOffice.

Weirdly it usually turns hyphens into en dashes instead of em dashes from what I’ve seen, which makes no sense at all.

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)
