The Punctuation Guide

Some writers do use some of those in their sentences, but if done really well, its not gonna stick out like crazy that its pretty noticeable like you say.You use dashes in emojis. Semicolons in java. No writer on the website uses them.
What make you so sure the OP haven't googled it first before asking in SHF? Bold of you to assume everyone use the metric system or aren't afraid of it.I can't understand why someone couldn't google something like that immediately instead of asking in SHF... can't you see that everyone in here can't even tell what's 5 meters apart?
Because the OP asked here first. Of course, if the OP went and searched it in Google, I bet there wouldn't be any problem because the whole internet has a clear and concise tutorial for every single thing. What—you think a person in SHF is any better than a verified tutorial site? That's like telling anyone an unlicensed doctor is better than the licensed one.What make you so sure the OP haven't googled it first before asking in SHF?
I get this faulty generalization bullshit. However, it's bold of you to make assumptions that just because they aren't afraid means they can use them like they know anything about it.Bold of you to assume everyone use the metric system or aren't afraid of it.
It's okay, nobody is fighting. Don't take everything here seriously. You don't have to use semicolon if you don't want to.I apologize if this thread caused a problem. I just wanted some tips from authors in this side. The whole internet have a clear and concise tutorials for anything, but my inferior brain can't understand most of it.
Can we stop fighting now? Should I ask the admin to lock this thread? I don't want to start a drama...

Your example is wrong.Semicolons:
Use a semicolon to join two related independent clauses in place of a comma and a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet). Make sure when you use the semicolon that the connection between the two independent clauses is clear without the coordinating conjunction.
For example, 'From all of those streaks of mistakes; we inevitably lost.'
