First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.” Kurt Vonnegut.

DJ_NUFC Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I find the semi-colon completely useless, a well-weighted comma suffices as replacement in 99.9% of the situations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Highlights where a subordinate clause is needed and combines two clauses that individually have separate meaning to create a complex sentence with potentially an entirely different meaning. Very useful. I don't like it as an alternative to a comma though, I reckon he's misusing it slightly. Not that I know the actual rule. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I've always assumed a semi-colon was a replacement for 'and' in most cases to split 2 sentences, that's how I use it anyway. I don't even care if I use it incorrect, I won't change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/nov/01/luis-suarez-limits-crossing-the-line-book The strange thing perhaps about Luis Suárez’s autobiography is that it is away from the biting, the confrontation with Patrice Evra and all the other controversies that you will find the story that goes as close as anything to revealing the man, and how far he would be willing to go to warp the lines between right and wrong. Suárez is in his last full season at Ajax. They are approaching the final game a point behind the leaders, FC Twente, but with a vastly superior goal difference. Ajax have a trip to NEC Nijmegen where they are widely expected to win. Except they need Twente to slip up at ninth-placed NAC Breda. Suárez, the captain, has a plan. He is so convinced it can work he asks to see the Ajax directors, and he remembers that what he says shocks them. “No, no, no! Are you mad, Luis? Don’t mention that ever again. We don’t do that kind of thing in Holland.” For Suárez, it was not good enough trying to influence one match. He wanted his fingerprints on the other one, too. Suarez had suggested to the directors they offered NAC Breda a win bonus. The response, he says, was “emphatic”. He sounds indignant, struggling to understand their logic, bemused that people with Ajax in their hearts could be so unimaginative. “Everyone was too relaxed for my liking,” he complains. Ajax did their bit and Suárez scored twice in a 4-1 win. Yet Twente won 2-0 and were champions. Suárez seethed in the dressing room. Hasn't VI said that this is common and not strange at all in Spain? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
