Is this grammatically correct? The next time I think of how

>>8866308
Nope.

>>8866308
No. Why would you use a semi-colon? You aren't separating two independent clauses.

HOW THE FUCK DO PEOPLE STILL NOT KNOW WHAT SEMICOLONS DO

I learned that shit in fifth grade and I was a snot-nosed brat

>>8866994
>I learned that shit in fifth grade; I was a snot-nosed brat.

>>8867045
That ruins the intent of my sentence, dolt

>>8867057
>I learned that shit in fifth grade; I am still a snot-nosed brat.

>>8867064
That only works if you are implying that learning what a semicolon means turns you into a snot-nosed brat

>>8867057
he's changing it for jokes, idiolt

>>8866994
I still don't know; I just use them when I think they should be used.

>>8866308

the first clause lacks a predicate, making the second non-sequiturial: so the semicolon should be a comma.

>>8867045
A semi-colon + ommiting the coordinating conjuction could work, but it's alternative--
>I learned that shit in the fifth grade, and I was a snot-nosed brat [.]
--works just well.
