I feel dumb asking this...

Its been a few years since I took English so maybe there are a few smart people that can help me.

How do you use “;”

Ive been using it in a list. Such as, “I'm going to work on;”

Can anyone tell me how the proper way to use it is?

I'm a semicolon fiend; I use them all the time. It's my favorite punctuation; often used to my own detriment.

On the other hand, I don't use colons very often, because: when I'm writing out longhand I don't like making lists, colons are only useful when making a bulleted or comma-delimited itemized list, and this looks like crap.

It's a worthless piece of punctuation; I suggest forgetting about it.

It's more fluid and less jarring when reading; you are a poo poo head.

Kral doesn't know how to use a semicolon; his example with the semi-colon isn't even the correct usage; it would only be a period there.

Semicolons can be used to streamline writing; reducing the number of sentances needed complete a thought.

Sentence 2 would be a comma because there is no subject in the second phrase.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone and we have Taylor Moton inked to a recent extension. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
