Oh, people, come on. Let us celebrate the beauty that is the semi-colon. Seriously. learn how to use it. Love it. Embrace it into your world.

See? Isn't that a thing of beauty? Stop using it as a fucking apostrophe and stop replacing it with commas. Commas are like mice; they breed extraordinarily quickly.

I would definitely have picked up on misuse. I'm fanatical about it.

See, not such a fan of the Oxford comma. I understand the need to separate clauses but conjunctions imply that two clauses are being separated. Not always but mostly. But I've had to start using them because such is the norm these days.

My narrator is such a bitch for breaking rules that the Oxford comma is probably grist to her mill.

Ha! Yeah, whilst for me the Oxford comma is newfangled and illogical for the most part. I miss my old english teacher! He was so old-school about grammar - a true grammarian.
