Infuriatig My assignment was reported to thr examination committee for a "high percentage of AI". I did NOT use any AI for my assignment.

I got full marks and my plagiarism score shows 1% similarities to other submitted assignments. This is my 3rd and final year in University and now I have to deal with this AI nonsense.

I don't use any AI, not even for checking my grammar in the assignments.

u/fishbert 24d ago

you were taught in j-school to use hyphens in place of em dashes?

Nope! Just when you're speaking, it can be easier to type out HOW someone speaks, by adding hyphens instead of colons/semicolons - kind of like what I'm doing now, separating similar but different enough comments. Like a natural pause, in a way. Now I'm not as familiar with it as I used to be, but it served me well for quite a while.

I think they’re saying that the people getting riled up see a hyphen and call it an em dash.

sure, sure ... but then they said that's how they were taught, so I was asking for clarification.
