I like that! I didn’t think you were supposed to use a comma before “and” at the end of lists though? For example, I thought it was milk, bread and cheese; not milk, bread, and cheese.
How’d you like me slipping in that semicolon? :)

Isn't the semi-colon just half you don't use??
Personally I use my whole colon.

I love the link; the person writing the material contradicts hisself/herself regarding ‘never use a semi-colon if a conjuntion is used’ ... see the dinosaur portion.

How to use a semicolonFunny, unless I misread it, they state the rule of not using the semi colon before a conjunction, such as but,and,or, not, but in one of the last examples with the guy eating the mayo, that's exactly where they used it.....right before the "and"! No wonder it's confusing.
