I think it's a Mountain Lion thing, when you type - (dash) twice, it becomes — (emdash). When you type tm, it becomes ™ (trademark symbol). Or when you type three . (dot), it becomes … (elipsis). Some are useful, some are very annoying. Overall, I want to stop that. How can I achieve this?
Answer
(on Sierra 10.12, this is now in the Keyboard control panel)
Go to the system preferences and choose "Language & Text"
In the "Text" tab you will find the list of substitutions.
If you want to stop -- from being turned into — (emdash) you need to use the + button and add a new rule to replace -- with -- (replace with itself)
Or, right click in a text field and go to "Substitutions" and disable "Smart Dashes"
