Using comma
Can I use "comma" instead of "em dash" in these sentences?
1) Let’s face it — we just don’t have enough money to buy a new car.
2) Let's face it—my test scores are not good enough to get a scholarship to college.
Top answer
Yes. Broadly speaking, an em-dash is never mandatory. Other types of punctuation can always be used.
