Semi-Colons

Semi-Colons are wonderful; they should be used all the time! They are probably my favorite punctuation mark right now. Previously, I have been fond of apostrophes and parentheses, but I've never much cared for dashes. Dashes are frequently confused with hyphens, and I rarely find good use for either of them. Down with dashes!

It's funny that I should be posting about this topic right now; Jacob is watching Sesame Street and Tully and Baby Bear are attending a "Triangle Lovers' Club" meeting. It seems oddly similar to my imaginary "Semi-Colon Lovers' Club" post today.

You're the only other person I know who would get this worked up over semi-colons.

You may find this blog as enjoyable as I do:

Good fun from another grammar-nut.
