Using a semi-colon correctly is a great way to be perceived as smarter, amirite?

Spouting pseudo-intellectual bullshit on the internet is also a great way to be perceived as smarter.

Thank you! The other day, my dad told me that no one uses semi-colons anymore. I was so angry; I couldn't believe anyone would actually believe that semi-colons were outdated. Maybe the world has just become even more unintelligent; I don't know.

Semicolon is not a hyphenated word; your argument is invalid.

Actually either spelling is accepted.

My phone autocorrects the hyphenated version to the one without a hyphen, and type in "semi-colon" in Google and scroll down; all of the results don't have hyphens.

Semicolon is probably used more, but the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary has the word spelled "semi-colon". The Concise Oxford Dictionary has it spelled "semicolon". Either work.
