Give me my semicolon!

By Ron Rollins | Sunday, June 22, 2008, 08:30 AM

Aw, nuts. Sometimes you are aware of a creeping trend that bothers you if you think about it, but you can kind of ignore it until you see it written about.

Dang it! Slate is confirming my suspicions about my second-favorite punctuation mark!

Don’t know about you, but I love semicolons and admire anybody who knows what they’re for. Someday, when we start running out of periods, we might just be happy they haven’t all gone away yet.
