[quote:Anonymous Coward 1202402:MV8xMjk4OTQ1XzIxMjU5NjQzXzY2MjAzN0Qy] [quote:Bullfrog] There once were great writers of great threads on this forum. Where has the semi-colon gone? [/quote] I am a huge fan of semi-colons. They are useful for separating a list of words or phrases. Also, they can be used in the place of a period or a conjunction when two sentences are closely related to each other. While on this subject, please allow me to vent: The correct way to use the word "however" in many instances is like this: "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain; however, it also rains in Denmark."
