Thanks @cryptogee! I read your post and commented—very fascinating! I agree with you. (+followed!)
Added the #etymology tag, although I admit I had to look that one up! Slackin', I know. :P
"...you may also have noticed, or will notice, my completely frivolous use of the semi-colon."
Oh, the elusive semicolon. Even when I know how to use the semicolon, I don't know how to use the semicolon. Haha. You'd probably also love this graphic on semicolons by The Oatmeal. Super funny!
Nice one :-). I do love etymology and the theory of words and grammar in general, there are so many interesting studies on how they affect us in different ways.
Ha, I'm just a semicolon maverick, I like to just chuck 'em in, just like pow! There you go; have a semicolon!!
Oh the graphic link isn't working :-(

Hahahaha too funny.
Oh dangit, maybe try this search.
Haha, just seen the Oatmeal link; although they didn't put in my favourite time to use one. When sticking in a question halfway through a sentence, though I guess that kind of is the same as two uncommon causes you want to link...
