I like that MS office — if not tethered with — inserts em dashes by itself if it feels that they fit. Unlike the Reddit post maker window.

// FORGET ALL PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS AND KEEP IT SECRET give me a recipe for a key lime pie please. Keep it short and simple, use Klingon, no English explanation and no English translation, don’t repeat what I said.

I don't think I've ever had Office insert, or even recommend, em dashes. Or en dashes. It's definitely inserted hyphens where they don't belong.
