Uh ... do I understand it right that there is a mistake in it? Or did I only get your "syntax police" wrong :-)? *thinking*. Yesterday I read a text with too many semicolons in it. That made me angry. So it's more an anger poem and I missed the right category :-). Thanks for the witty verse! And your corrections are always welcome!!!

No mistakes! The "syntax police" reference was a jest. It's just that they are so punctilious about every punctuation mark, used in the proper place at the proper time, etc.

Hm ... I have to admit that - as a linguist and at least in my mothertongue - I'm quite unforgiving when I notice wrong punctuation. Sometimes it changes the sense drastically. And I think students should be less sloppy when handing in papers brimming over with missing or too many commas. Must be the nitpicker gene :-).

Thank you so much, Carlene, as always! I've never thought I'd muse about semicolons one day. They got in my way that day :-).
