Subject: Copy: no more em dashes, anywhere people read.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Every English string, the translations, the README and the messages the code
shows people now break with a full stop, a colon or a comma instead. Only
console logs and the "—" placeholder for an empty cell keep the dash.
