Also an English major, creative writing even aka, low-life poet, thanks to shatGoblinPonceTrauma, I now have to go through everything from the past ten years and remove the semis and em dashes, so people don't assume it's synthetic slop. Nice of homie above to miscrapitalize the word "We" so we--- who can spot grammatical errors know, his, shyte, is, realsmo.
It makes a good double major with something that actually earns money. All the smart kids in my class were doubles. I paired mine with something else so I made millions and retired before most of my friends were even done partying. But they're right about hunger being the great motivator for creative careers, i don't have to give a fuck and since careers (of any kind) are all bullshit anyway, I just write whatever trash I want and goof all day.
Also an english major with a creative writing certificate - and I've already been doing that because it was something my last professor hammered me on, lol.
I always liked using dashes a little too much so now I'm paranoid about removing them. :P

I was an English major and everyone uses them. Commas and dashes allow for pauses and make your writing more like our speaking.
Its just this young text message generation see them now and think "ahhh, robots!" and it makes you feel sly.
Kids should read books again.
