Two consecutive hyphens are usually treated as an em dash, hence auto-correct doing the conversion for you. (This site does it, too. Hit View Source on my comment, and the next sentence should have two hyphens instead of a unicode em dash.) Otherwise, if you're on a US keyboard layout, you can hold down the Alt key and then punch in 0 1 5 1 on the numeric keypad -- that will give you a Unicode em dash if you're not in a word processor.
Regardless, this jackass has serious punctuation issues in the first place. Their grammar is about as consistent as their ideology.
I know I'm bad about using too many hyphens as punctuation, but three in one tweet is ridiculous.
You shouldn't use any hyphens for this sort of punctuation, what you want is an em dash
- Vs —
Word processors usually put the em dash in automatically if there are spaces around it. I don't even know how to type out an em dash
It's easy you just google "em dash" and copy and paste it :mission-accomplished-1:—:mission-accomplished-2:
:michael-laugh: great use of emoji too, thanks
Yeah this is what I do for work but the only people who even notice are other graphic designers.
