On Saving a Certain Punctuation Mark

Hi. I'm Nina, and since the other authors and I have established that I am rubbish at introductions, I shall give none but my blog, which can be found here.

When writing, I particularly like to use a punctuation mark that I like to call a semicolon.

Oh, the dear semicolon. I don't know what I would do if it disappeared ...  But that, in essence, is what is happening to it.  People are forgetting about it; abandoning it; replacing it with the simple but boring comma! People, the semicolon is going extinct!

*Pause* I'm dramatic, aren't I?

Yes, yes I am.

But it does need to be saved; I really can't imagine a world without semicolons; think- comma splices in every sentence, instead of using the noble power of a semicolon;  no beautiful writing left! Okay, I'm really quite dramatic. But, seriously. My point is that you should use it; use it in blog posts, stories; poetry... and together we shall save the semicolon!







Okay, let's see if Mikee and Lianna kick me out for that overly-dramatic and short post.
