In Blogit, I think I break every rule of proper writing but not when I am submitting something for publication.

Hah, nice ending..:)
I think of the semi as a cross between a period and comma; a bridge pausing but not ending a sentence that is leaping into another set of thoughts yet not completely enough to finish it. Or something like that, lol.
