-596 Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college. amirite?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That's not true; they separate clauses more effectively than any other punctuation.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Semicolons are awesome; therefore, I will keep using them. Also, my English teacher absolutely worships them; by using them, I earn extra points ;)

I learned to use these this year;I'm in middle school.

Yeah, proper grammar is a bitch; just because you don't know how to use semi-colons doesn't mean,"They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing". That is like saying a treble cleft isn't important; the exception being punk music.

And there's nothing wrong with showing you've been to college. I'd say it's a positive thing.

how can a hermaphrodite be a transvestite? It'd be dressing to its gender whichever way it went...

Thanks, Kurt Vonnegut.

At least someone gets it.

It doesn't show you've been to college; I learned how to use semicolons in 6th grade.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Same. I did the basics in 5th grade and how to actually use them in 6th grade. Oooh how I miss those days of english class.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I didn't know Kurt Vonnegut was a fan of amirite?..

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You're obviously an idiot if you think showing that you know proper grammar is bad; I hate stupid people like you.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Or....you could read up on Kurt Vonnegut, dumbass.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I've definatly been using semicolons since middle school. Our teacher stressed we, "keep the semicolon alive!" I sence someone lacking their jr. High skills.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I find this post stupid; it shows a definite lack of understanding of the English language.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Go read up on your Kurt Vonnegut. Dumbass.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Go read up on your comebacks. Dumbass.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Go fuck yourself, dumbass.

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Y'all who are saying this post/person is stupid, they're quoting Kurt Vonnegut. Who is perhaps the greatest writer who ever lived. 'Nuff said.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

FINALLY

by Anonymous 13 years ago

other than the obvious fact that kurt didnt post this... i'm not sure how i'm supposed to wink at someone while texting without using a semicolon

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'll get back to you once I've figured out how to use them besides to wink ;]

I used them since I was eight.

You are all illiterate, this is a fairly popular quote by Vonnegut. On top of that, dashes are way cooler.

THANK YOU!!!

Kafka used lots of semicolons, you stupid Americans who regard science fiction authors as authorities on proper grammar.
