when using a monotype font, shouldnt n and m dashes look the same even?

[–] communism@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

They do, but I still use the correct dash in code comments. It's easy to type with a compose key. I don't know; I've just always done it. I think maybe because English is not my first language so I spent a while learning all the grammatical rules; it feels wrong to deliberately break them to indicate an informal tone, the way a lot of people do online.

The graphical representation does not matter, they are still different character
