Back in November, I wrote a post about Two Kittens Riding a Goat. Yes…it *was* safe for work! Jeez! Theoatmeal.com had done a lovely visual guide to using apostrophes.
Well, they’ve done it again, only this time, they are helping all of us understand semi-colons.
Click here to see what in the world hairy knuckles have to do with semi-colons.
Have a great Friday and a wonderful, whimsical weekend. <–(intentional use of alliteration)

I particularly like the rat diagram! Cute way to teach grammar.

Putting a hyphen between syllables 2 and 3 of “semicolon” is incorrect and makes the punctuation mark appear “half-assed.”

Thanks for the catch, sun-shine.

Just. Wow.
I did however get sidetracked wondering if my cat was plotting to kill me. There is a 78% chance.

Karen…that didn’t sidetrack me. I already know my cat is plotting to kill me.
