Why

En dashes belong only in numeric ranges such as 2020–2024. Elsewhere they read as stray punctuation.

Examples

Flagged

The court–ordered remedy failed.

Better

The range spans 2020–2024.

Turning it off

lawlint --disable no-en-dash draft.md

Or durably, in .lawlint/config.json — see Configuration.
