Please Review Semicolons and Pass It On

Post by Ed »

Hi Writers,

Here is my semi-annual plea that everyone review semicolon usage and apply the rules correctly. Every fifth submission as of late has a semicolon error - and these seem to stay even after requests to revise for semicolons. Please help spread the word about proper semicolon usage.

Thanks,

I hate semicolons. Somehow I always end up using them though, pesky little punctuation-al pains that they are :)

I kind of like them myself. Plus they "wink" and sometimes even smile at you! ;)
