  I, as an avid reader, have always tried to depend on semicolons; for when sentences have ended but deserve the epilogue.

  Approved?

    Agreed, but somehow your use of it here still feels off. Like it isn’t necessary at all right there; at least that’s how I feel. The thing that comes after the semicolon needs to be able to stand on its own. Or use it when counting: Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries; flour, sugar, and cereal; milk, and cream.

      Interesting. I would never use more than one semicolon before ending a sentence, but breaking up list like that does seem to respect the verbalization

        It does, doesn’t it. And helps categorize, as well. 🙂
