Your scheme involves getting a fake appraisal for a value higher than the market price. But this does not explain high prices at an auction.
This item didn’t get sold yet or? It’s says it’s valued at 9million. So somebody gave it that number.

I've been pressing minus twice to type a dash on Mac OS for so long I've forgotten when I started. People are pointing it out to me more and more every day. I think my writing is distinct enough from an LLM for most people, but there's certainly a growing contingent that sees a telltale and assumes everything must be AI generated. Most (all?) keyboards I've used only have a combined hyphen‐minus key (-) which is dist…
Yeah it actually saddens me a little, if using good and correct typography will be avoided because of LLM.

Em dashes are still appropriate for articles, journals, scientific papers, and other academic or professional writing. In social media comments they came across as pompous even before LLMs and werent particularly appropriate for casual comments. Though to be fair some people enjoy coming across as pompous and embrace the 'better than the peasants and their lowly minus sign use' attitude. Makes them feel special or as…
I think it’s a bit of a stretch to call a part of grammar pompous. It’d be analogous with me calling your post lazy due to its various typos — I’m not, I just found the comparison apt.

Ive had to change how i write so that people don’t think its chat bot. Probably more a me thing but it has sadly ruined my heavy use of m dash and personal style. Small minority i know.

All it needed was the emdash

Not sure why I find this surprising, but this comic is worth twice as much as Napoleon's diamond encrusted brooch recently sold for [1] [1] https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/world/europe/napoleon-dia...

This might be genuinely the first time I can remember hearing someone say they don’t want to commit piracy. No offence, but who cares? Especially for something from 1939.
I mean, I care (though not for something whose creators are long since dead and whom you can't support any more). But in general, I certainly try to avoid piracy. I think it's immoral and while I don't think it makes one a bad person (I myself used to pirate a ton of stuff when I had no money to buy it), I do think it's a thing that a good person should strive to avoid.

I’ve used it for literally decades for both formal and informal writing. On social media and in text messages. It is a very useful way to communicate/pace your sentences.
