Oh Richard, when I taught grammar to twelve year old students, I told them that those were the most powerful, scariest punctuation on Earth. I said that they should stop whining about being treated like children and they should stop complaining about not being allowed to do the things they want to do.
Instead, they should write a simple note to their parents and in that note they should use a semicolon just once. They should leave the note by the door and never mention it again. I explained that nothing they could say would be more powerful, more moving and yes, more frightening, to any adult than than knowing that their little girl or boy correctly used a semicolon.
