    I use semi-colons a lot. People are so intimidated by them and they refuse to admit how simple they are; it’s literally the combination of a comma and a colon, that’s it. Use it for when both are needed.

      It’s just a super comma; you can more-or-less use it as a drop-in replacement for EM-Dashes that LLNs ruined for everybody. Also useful for long, complicated lists that feature too many commas and get confusing to read

          Independent but related clauses is how I treat it. I wouldn’t put a semicolon between unrelated clauses.
