Using Semi-colons
There are two primary uses for semi-colons.
1. Semi-colons are used to join two RELATED independent clauses.
These independent clauses are closely related, so we can join them with a semi-colon. Note that we do not capitalize the first letter of the second clause (unless it's a proper noun, that is).
Do not use a semi-colon to join two clauses if they are not closely related.
