You have to justify your Em Dash because literally no one uses it and uses hyphens instead. the only way you get away with it is you should have shown him the shortcut keys for the dash right then and there or you say that like was copied if its a reference. otherwise it's not going to be convincing. I've written papers for college students before AI. em dashes were never used

Pull up some time stamped emails where you show that you use dashes and regular writing or if you have anything else that’s time stamped where you do use dashes that should do it. Also, don’t put a comma after “and” that’s now a giveaway for ChatGPT.

Instead of using em dash, use (). It's kind of the same.

As a former journalist who loves a good em dash — this is the worst thing ChatGPT has done to humanity.

Ai is literally ruining our reputation as student! If you write a strong essay using advanced language and punctuation, they assume we have been using chat GPT.

I have Microsoft word, like the most basic $5/month version. It corrects sentences with an em dash. So if I click the correction it makes it AI?

you had to explain to the teacher what the purpose for using an m dash was. like I'm trying ti separate the ideas while still having then in a way connected on a sentence. like a form of continuation. in reality an m dash can be uses in many different ways, but essentially it can just be substituted by a comma or semicolon . but you have to explain. the fact that you don't know what you were doing is what makes it suspicious for the teacher.
however, some good readers can get punctuation rules almost by logic. it is kind of judgmental form a teacher to assume. he doesn't knows your reading level if you read Ulysses, Shakespeare, or some kind of abstract poem lr philosophy.
but yea it is rare that students use m dash. I might have thought the same if you hadn't point it out

you should show him that you know how to type an em dash on a google doc (since he thinks that you wouldn't know how to type one)
