[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1522809"] Point being, I don't think there's a sentence structure that exists in English where a semi-colon is the only appropriate punctuation to use. Semi-colons are pretty much only good for showing a little diversity amongst your punctuation when you've got a :censored: ton of legitimate commas throughout your writing (this is an OPINION, by the way, not trying to tote it as a fact). I'd actually love an example of when a semi-colon would be the only appropriate way to punctuate a sample of writing, if you can think of one, bbsam. Also, I think that TheOatmeal site is the same one where I found my absolute favorite english language-related idiom: "If you put an 'A' in 'definitely,' then you're definitely an A-hole." xD [/QUOTE]
