Here's my take on semi-colons. On these blogs, even if comments go long, there's a goal to compress word count. I use the semi-colon too, bridging one thought immediately with a closely realated corrensponding thought. It could be the evolution of blog speak. Dunno. It works for me--and it's a good way to cut intro of assoc. thought. <BR/><BR/>Please, my lit profs, I know better but ... creative license in changing times. :)sandpiper; language hacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-20829450555389568832008-03-13T15:04:58.273-07:002008-03-13T15:04:58.273-07:00I can only imagine how beautiful their Cresent Estate will be after they get through remodeling.<BR/><BR/> Anyone who was lucky enough to have been inside the Rappaports Calle Vista Estate would know they have the most exquisite taste!
