Semicolon sense;

Semicolons are used to connect two independent clauses that could be sentences on their own. This is usually only done in English; I don't know of any other language that uses semicolons. The semicolon itself usually looks like a coma with a dot above it; one could call the dot the comma's hat. I have just given two examples of how to use a semicolon, but for a couple of more examples click on the Random Phrase.
