Ironically, the semicolon would go perfect at the end of the first line.
Bold of you to assume i dont use it daily; it helps to be autistic and need to explain complex thoughts in a single sentence.
Same with em dashes; nested — turducken style — sentences are just how the divergence works.
This subthread feels like home.
But now I don't use em dashes anymore because I don't want to sound like AI, unfortunately.
I have a sneaking suspicion I already sounded like AI; maybe AI just sounds like me.
I use them in at least one out every of ten comments; I feel like most people don't know how to use them, however.
They're useful if you want to link two related sentences; Sausage links are good too.
Semicolons were the staple "eyes" in many emoticons back in the day.
;) ;P ;_;
"Back in the day"? I still use them \o/
Unicode emojis killed the ASCII emoji scene. -_-;
Their called emoticons and they are for those with a refined taste. :Þ ∞̊͜° <- I love this pig I figured out how to make.
;-;
Python developer: LOL. LMAO
as a fellow Python user, I fucking hate significant whitespace. Also YAML. WTF they where thinking
I will take YAML's string blocks where I don't have to escape special characters over JSON any day.
ITT; people artificially constructing wildly unnatural sentences to try an force the semicolon to be useful and still using it wrong
It is a semicolon; we barely use it.
Incorrect, that's a Greek question mark
Before IDEs were smart it was a great prank
A lot of at least entry-level comp sci is taught in Python these days
My senior highschool English teacher (a somewhat precocious PHD student), assigned us basically the opposite of code golf; make the longest grammatically correct sentence you can (with some rules that basically amounted to 'do not be boring/repetitive'). The use of semicolons was encouraged.
If one ignores the semicolon, it is at their own peril; they're too useful, even when used slightly incorrectly
Also self harm survivors apparently tattoo themselves with it. I like to think it's a reminder for them that life goes on.
Specifically, failed suicide attempts. It's because a semicolon is used where a sentence could have ended, but keeps going.
I use semi-colons a lot. People are so intimidated by them and they refuse to admit how simple they are; it's literally the combination of a comma and a colon, that's it. Use it for when both are needed.
That is incorrect (to my understanding), it's the combination of a comma and a period; it only resembles a colon in appearance.
My colon definitely doesn't look like that and if yours does I suggest a doctor's visit.
We mean, you can use it often i enough if you use it correctly; if only purely by example.
also; you can use it; more often; if you use it; incorrectly; if; only; pur;ely; by; ;e;x;a;m;p;l;e;.
I;m; n;o;t; s;u;r;e; w;h;a;t; y;o;u; m;e;a;n;; l;o;o;k;s; g;r;e;a;t; x;D;
English Teacher: It is semicolon we hardly use it.
So... It's perfectly cromulent to everyone here that an English teacher isn't using proper punctuation and capitalization?
I mean, have you seen ML with Python. It doesn't have semicolons.
