Kurt Vonnegut wrote, "Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college." But I happen to like semicolons; I have been to college and I know how to use them properly. So who's right, Kurt Vonnegut or me?

I thought I was the only one who had this sickness  And...um, writing is subjective;to each his own. Don't bother quoting Vonnegut and just do what works for you.  |
