Hi everyone! I'm glad I've found Opuss, it seems like an amazing way to connect with and follow amateur writers. Because of this, and because I am rusty as hell at writing, I have a question:
WHEN do I use a semicolon?
Those little beasties have been irritating me since forever. I've never understood them. I give them a go, but then I immediately think "Wait, that can't be right!" and ditch them for a comma or a full stop.
Can someone more knowledgeable on ;s (<- Aww he looks like he's been in the wars doesn't he?) give me some advice? And please dumb it down to a 5 year olds complexity of understanding. Then I might JUST grasp them!
Thanks guys. You're awesome.
Okay. So My First Post Is A Question! • Opuss № I
