This easy to follow chart labels them "The most feared punctuation on Earth" and I think a lot of writers would agree with this assessment. Personally, I love semicolons and I use them relatively liberally in my own writing. In fact, I've made a real effort to cut down since shortly after the inception of this blog; it was starting to get a bit out of hand. Oh, there I go again...

JBW,
Learned something today,thanks.Day hasn't been a total waste after all.
Hey man, just used a ; twice in a comment for the second time since reading this today.
If there is a future in the use of the ; I am down with it. Maybe I'll even put it in my resume;how cool would that be?
Glad you learned something useful Oso but don't go overboard with it; you run the risk of becoming a tedious writer.
