Anyone else get annoyed seeing a hyphen (-) that should really have been an en dash (–) or an em dash (—)? (That’s Alt+Hyphen and Alt+Shift+Hyphen respectively if you use an Apple keyboard, FYI.) https://youtu.be/Bd8r7LUiUJA

I sometimes use double en dash in my private writing in terminal as I didn't know there is alt-hyphen keybinding for it. Although, in monospace font they look really similar.
