Like left turns against traffic, I’ll do almost anything to avoid using a semicolon.

That is all.

    Had this conversation with my boss yesterday. He was trying to figure out why Word gave him the “you’ve been bad underline.” Since explaining the right-click to the old man is impossible, I told him that he needs to put a period or semi-colon. I recommended a period as semi-colons make people look like pompus asses.

    “…do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites, standing for absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college.”

    My understanding is that semicolons are more afraid of us than we are of them.
