I use em dashes constantly. I've been a Mac user for years, where the em dash is a modified hyphen on the Mac keyboard. When I moved to primarily using PCs, the em dash alt-key combo was the first one I memorized (alt-0151).

It probably should be your own device; the audiogram ends up in the iPhone's health app. It can probably be done by someone else if they don't care and don't need to apply a different audiogram for themselves.

I think part of the point of the quote is that a man who would try to hold a cat by the tail is an example of someone who can ignore the experiences of other people. People FAFO when they should know better all the time.
