you might be wondering why
there is a random punctuation mark
in front of that word i do so love to use:
yum.
well, simply put,
it’s my favourite punctuation mark.
have i nerded you out yet? yes, i said it.
i have a favourite punctuation mark.
it would have been the sarcasm mark
if i even knew how to draw could afford it,
but no.
it is the semicolon.
now, i know that the semicolon is a highly
misused piece of punctuation that most of my
peers don’t bother to use or simply ignore.
i actually find that it comes up quite often in my writing.
it makes me sound like a pretentious ass sophisticated.
so was i ever glad to find this on the interwebs:
courtesy of The Oatmeal.
okay, i admit, i haven’t asked his permission to post this yet,
but i damn well will soon.
any excuse to talk to the oatmeal. he’s awesome.
i hope to come up with a guide of my own soon.
