julesG Might fit the description, if you generalised it to: a semicolon is stronger than a comma, but weaker than a full stop. 1w
GingerAntics @julesG that was discussed at some length, as that was the original definition… of one of the 8 original semicolons. It was a trip. 1w
GingerAntics @julesG in all fairness, a California stop is a rolling stop… so basically not quite a full stop, but longer than a comma. 1w
julesG 😂😂 1w
julesG We have grammar rules for semicolons too. 1w
GingerAntics @julesG and apparently they are probably different from the like 10 different sets of rules available here… apparently not all languages use semicolons either. So, you know, lots of fun facts from this book. 1w
