Thanks for the reminder! Lately I've been using more semicolons in my writing; I'm not quite sure why. I just don't want go overboard with my use of them. Any advice there? Thanks!
My advice: use correctly and use sparingly; you might seem pretentious to readers if you use them to often. ;)
Ok thanks. I'll definitely keep that in mind. I would hate to sound pretentious! When I write, I'll treat the semicolon like it is a pepper shaker.
I remember in my college English classes, people always got props for working a semicolon into their writings. I try to use it whenever I can.
