It’s just a matter of taste I guess. But now I’ve given it a thought and I honestly don’t get it, you want to replace the apostrophe because it has two uses (three if you count that some people like myself use it as quotes as well) with the hyphen that has many more uses like compound words, prefixes, ranges, dates, divided words at the end of a line…
It-s
Thanks I hate it. Also wouldn’t the “it’s” be ‘its’ without apostrophe at all?
In French it would be ‘attardé’ I think.
Here, ¡¡¡¡, you can have some of mine. I barely use them these days anymore.
Spanish has opening question and exclamation marks, you would put this inverted interrobang at the beginning of your questclanation as in ‘⸘Por qué no los dos‽’.
My tape measure has millimeter divisions? In fact til 5cm (I think, might be 10. I’ll check tomorrow) it has 0.5 mm lines too.
I mean I would use another tool probably, but if I only had my tape measure it would do unless the changes are smaller than like 0.25 mm.
Something is in a quantum superposition state or it isn’t, absolute binariness.
There are two types of apples, red apples and non-red apples. D’ya see? Everything in the universe either is a banana or it is not, all is binary.
And then he goes and eats the spaghetti with a spoon smh 🤌. Btw I do the bacon cream kind of carbonara, I’ve had the ‘real’ one many times, good but not worth the extra effort (this one with only the yolks has got my attention). I wouldn’t dare to serve it to an Italian tho, in fact I usually call it just ‘cream and bacon’ because the noise doesn’t come just from Italians, there are lots of food snobs.

But isn’t that example absolute ‘misandry rage bait’ tho? I had to look it up (because I haven’t been so terminally online lately) and, after skimming through some discovery channel results, it seems like exactly that.
Those videos just cherry pick the answers that are gonna give them more ‘engagement’, I do believe that ‘I prefer to encounter a random bear rather than a random man while alone in the forest’ to be a rather ‘misandrist’ (just plainly dumb honestly) answer, and I don’t believe this is what a majority of women think. So I see it as obvious bait to drive those that like to cry misandry when they are forced to try women as equals to the comments.
Quick edit: if the question would have been ‘who have hurt you less?’ Or ‘by whom are you less threatened on a daily basis?’ then ‘bears’ is definitely a reasonable answer.
So an n-dash? Which is arguably indistinguishable from a hyphen unless you put them together, so most people just use hyphens. Or another dash-like character in between?
I mean to each their own, if you like it you like it. I’m not saying your way is bad or worse, I’m just a nerd who also likes to use punctuation in a peculiar and personal way. Just to be clear that this is a light-hearted conversation and not a ‘yOu aRE WroNg!’ kinda thing. :)
