The fact that I chose to read this article at 7 on a Saturday morning must say something about my love of punctuation and your ability to capture a reader's attention! I love semicolons; I wish I felt more confident in using them.

Came across more evidence that Vonnegut did not follow his own advice:

"When Hemingway killed himself he put a period at the end of his life; old age is more like a semicolon."

I don't think I've ever seen so many semicolons, colons, and dashes in one essay before. Very clever!
