@pianoman1 saidI love the semicolon.
My family mock me mercilessly for being the Grammar police!
The semi colon is as necessary to the English language as the sustain pedal is to a pianist; it provides just the right degree of hiatus between clauses. Longer than a comma, but not so final as the full stop, it offers a more fluid transition from one theme to another. It is a vital tool in the armoury of the grammar practitioner, whereas the Oxford Comma is a pedantic, stylistic abomination.
@suzianne saidSo you don't like me agreeing with something Dive says, but yet you have no problem with agreeing with goad all the time, are you two smooching butt? 😛
Smooch some more butt, Rusty.
Go ahead, don't let us stop you.
Like you said continue, I don't mind watching I will not include anyone else as you seem the need to do when ever making a statement. 😉
