How often Americans write — and how often they use em dashes

Most Americans frequently write text messages and emails, but few say they often — or ever — write fiction, nonfiction or poetry, a new YouGov survey finds. Texting is ubiquitous: 74% of Americans say they write text messages daily while another 16% write texts weekly. Only 2% say they never text. 67% of Americans write emails at least weekly and only 3% say they never email. 64% of Americans write both emails and texts at least weekly.
