I like it. A lot of times I just skim, so sentences like this let me know when to pay more attention to some point the author is trying to make.


Is this the new em dash witch hunt?

I sometimes write like that because I noticed for regular people, they tend to pay more attention if some things are written a specific way. It’s like an FAQ.

I’ll continue to use bolded titles and bullet points when writing for a regular audience.
