    I am fairly confident with my semicolon usage; it's often properly used to connect two indpendent, yet related clauses.

        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.

              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)

              Should’ve taken German class if you thought that was important.

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

                    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.
