TL;DR:
-
The proper-ness of a particular semicolon depends on the confidence with which it is used. If you are confident, you cannot use it incorrectly; if you are not, you can never use it right.
Sometimes; I just sprinkle in; a bunch of random semicolons confidently to see i;f anybody else is is confident enough; in their understanding of proper semi;colon usage to call me out

If teachers were paid the way ICE agents are, I bet I'd even know what an umlaut was (and I wouldn't have had to look up how to spell it)

PS: on a smartphone keyboard, you can just long press the corresponding vowel to get a popup for umlauts (and various other diacritics).

It's funny because ;;;;; means "sweating" (i.e. nervous) in Korean

As a programmer I use it confidently a lot, just not outside of coding.

I have watched this video; I’m still going to use semicolons with great uncertainty.

I have never used a semicolon without 100% confidence. Am I wrong a lot? Sure. But consider this: I am a cishet white male, and the world revolves around me. My arrogance knows no bounds!

That's why they call it a semicolon; you're never more than half sure you're using it right.

Semicolons are awesome; They're easy to use when you know how.

TIL an emdash, endash, and hyphen are different.
