lol, yea...I just cant help it..its just like when I use "...". It shows I've stopped for a brief second for reflection...or to think of what should come next.  
I totally didnt pay attention in English class.

Get a grammar book for dummies. That way when your child gets older you can help them in school.

It binds two sentences more closely than they would be if separated by a full stop/period. It often replaces a conjunction such as and or but. Writers might consider this appropriate where they are trying to indicate a close relationship between two sentences, or a 'run-on' in meaning from one to the next; they might not want the connection to be broken by the abrupt use of a full stop.


eg: I am not alone; my wife came back to me.

the ; is like for series, like when you are going to name a bunch of things aka....i have a lot of dvds; simpsons, family guy, shes the man, and the notebook.

at least i think i remember thats what its for....lol

thats only if the separate independent clauses have internal punctuation...


eg: There are several Waffle Houses in Atlanta, Georgia; Greenville, South Carolina; Gainesville, Florida; and Mobile, Alabama."

I love the semicolon; it's my favorite of all the punctuation marks.
