Trying to find creative new ways to use semicolons; not trying to get caught using them incorrectly

Comments

I think you may have used one incorrect @absolbot

No I'm not the semicolon police Kindred7 I am just very interested in syntactics recently

absol ooh ok i literally went back to mathboy9’s blog to check my paragraphs to see if i used one badly and was getting all self-conscious LOL
But yes that’s a good interest i think! I should like review that too; i’m sure i’m missing some knowledge or additional uses.
One of the cool uses of semi-colons I remember reading about was how you can use them when you’re listing things but also including descriptions
Like “He went to see Jill, his crazy neighbour; John, the plumber; and Greta, the gardener.”
So it acts like a “super comma” because the other commas are being used to describe the people
