For some bizarre, but funny reason, this came to my mind:
Has anyone ever seriously thought about the character, semi-colon since semi means half, or 50%? _Seriously. _ Why is it called a semi-colon [half-colon] anyway? The bottom 'comma' portion clearly uses more space than the the upper, 'colon' [plus SPACE] part therefore it's MORE than just 'semi' [half]? Shouldn't it be more accurate to call it a comma plus dot, or, a dotted comma like we say, dotted 'i'?

I'm not completely sure how to use a semicolon, nor am I totally lost tho. I'm kinda confused on them sadly but I think the more I use them I may get it. Anyways thank you i'm trying to get ready for 6th grade because in elementary they only taught us some things, but I hope in the future I will get it!

When a bunch of people die, they use it in an obituary to list their names. It can be used to finish a sentence with many commas, or plot twist fundamentally though it develops emergent information that may terminate assumptions in your sentences. its a hermeneutic tool. you'll figure it out.

You know, watching these videos are really entertaining; they allow you to learn new things and just maybe youll be able to remember what they had to offer IF YOU ACTUALLY PRACTICED.

I used to think I was using semicolons incorrectly, but this has proven me wrong. I honestly think semicolons are underrated. I used to be intimidated by them; not anymore: )

Coma: very fast but it has no arms
Semi comas: jumps a lot but pretty weak
Periods: the stronger of the 3 but is a snail and cant really jump

So, it seems like the semicolon is almost like saying because in a sentence; it can also be used with sentence listings.
