sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

To all the amateur Grammar Nazis who are frothing at the mouth over the semicolon, I have news for you: the semicolon use is correct, so put away your swastikas.

First of all, the semicolon is used to join two independent clauses: "I regret...your 'nigga Treyshon'" and "However, in light of the developing situation...", which is the commonly accepted use of a semicolon.

What about the "however", you might ask? The "however" in this case is not a transition word as the top comment incorrectly points out; it's a conjunctive adverb (you can usually tell because it's followed by a comma), which are always preceded by a semicolon when used to link two independent clauses (which we established to be the case).

Seriously though, did nobody bother looking it up for themselves before upvoting these guys?

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjunctive_adverb

"However" is listed as one in case you wondered

Bonus: a direct quote from the page:

The following rules are considered to be correct punctuation for conjunctive adverbs:

Use a semicolon or period before the conjunctive adverb to separate two independent clauses joined by a conjunctive adverb. A conjunctive adverb is not strong enough to join two independent clauses without the aid of a semicolon.

More than just him was harping on the semicolon use; in fact, when I posted this, the top three or four comments were about it. I figured I would try to address them all at once.

If I have but one request before I die, which based on your age means sooner than I thought, it would be that this show comes back... and isn't taken off the air by something as stupid as "The O.C."

[–]this_sort_of_thing 0 points1 point ago

I'm from the UK, I don't think that show was ever popular here because I've never heard anyone talk about it. Everyone on reddit though seems to talk about it like, like it's The Wire or something. Just pure genius. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

Dude, chill out, fellow redditors. It's not racist, nor is the person who responded being a dick. It's simply funny because it shows a contrast between two modes of speaking. The person who was looking for Treyshon was probably laughing at the super-formal text he received.

From the example on the site, you can see that that site doesn't have the bar with the Facetime stuff. I mean, yeah sure, I could've Photoshopped it myself or used another website, but yeah... up to you whether or not to believe it.

Edit: Yeah, also, the iPhone image used on the site you linked to has 100% battery life and no alarms activated. Still doesn't help the possibility that I could've 'shopped it myself or used a different site, but yeah, nothing I do could really change that.

That would be pretty fucking awesome if, on his deathbed, UnkzDomain left his family and loved one completely bewildered when his last words were: "'Treyshon' was fake."

Then a Citizen Kane like investigation begins to uncover the meaning behind is last words.

[–]yokiedinosaur 18 points19 points ago

It'd be even more hilarious if his last words were simply, as he looked at his loved one, wet-eyed and gasping for breath: "Nigga Treyshon..."

Once there was this 3 week span of black people calling me and asking for Tequisha or some ghetto name. Then one morning I get a call and there's this angry black lady yelling at me accusing me of stealing her daughter's phone. I explained to her for 15 minutes how she was wrong. Tried to hang up but they just continued to call. Until finally I yelled at her to check her number again..... which she probably should have done before calling the police.

[–]RoblesZX 0 points1 point ago

I actually believe you. I already stated that it's not from the fake iPhone text website because that site is stupid and doesn't use the correct font and now that you mention that your friend sent it to you (Through MMS, I assume) it makes complete sense that it is at a low quality, which was my main concern about its validity.

I give this about a 7/10 chance of it being real, it's low because he could have just set it up and there's no way to account for that.

I was taught only to use "however" after a semi-colon.

And he'd be wrong. In fact, you are supposed to used a semicolon before a transition:

The words hence, however, indeed, then, and thus should be preceded by a semicolon and followed by a comma when used as transitions between the clauses of compound sentences. For example: "The proposition is not apparent in the first draft of Smith's manifesto; thus, we can only conclude that it was an afterthought."

You missed a good opportunity there. Whenever this happens to me I take it as far as I can, and it's often incredibly amusing.

That semicolon is correct. The word "however" should never be used without one, in fact, if at the beginning of an independent clause—not that I would "rage so hard" if it were.

On the contrary my friend. The words hence, however, indeed, then, and thus should be preceded by a semicolon and followed by a comma when used as transitions between the clauses of compound sentences. For example: "The proposition is not apparent in the first draft of Smith's manifesto; thus, we can only conclude that it was an afterthought." (I dint know how to quote on my iPad this is a comment from above.

The other person made himself look dumb for writing like that in the first place. Don't call him out because he spoke in a way that was more thought out than people usually speak.
