I haven't seen a bad idea that I didn't like.

No; people are just grammatically inept and never know where to use semicolons.

I use semicolons far more than I use colons.


Look, shock images! I’m edgy! Please remember me.

I use semicolons a lot more, too. Colons are a rare occurrence; I abuse semicolons a little, I think.

I almost never use semicolons just because I think they look stupid. I intentionally avoid sentence structure that would require them.

Semicolons are too difficult; alot of people cannot use them correctly, where as a Colon can be: understood, used correctly, etc.

Semicolons are the best; they conveniently divide two discrete but related thoughts into one compound sentence.

This. I’m always expected to have various sentence structures in any formal writing bumignment I have; it helps a lot. I’ve come to favor the semicolon over other types of sentence combination.

You guys are all ****ing idiots. The keyboard was designed by and for programmers.

Statements in most programming languages end in a semi-colon. Colons are almost never used (except in languages like C++, for providing the clbum containing method).

So, every programming “sentence” ends in a ****ing semi-colon.

FOR FUKKEN EXAMPLE:

include <stdio>;

int main(void) {

double x = 0.0000001;

char[] flava = char[100];

flava = “These fools don’t know **** about my”;

printf(“%s semi-colons\n”,flava);

return 0;

}

I saw elephoatse, I just don’t care. The discussion of technicalities of punctuation, however, interests me.
