#(using semicolons as commas there)

[discatded]

not necessarily your favorite punctuation, or your favorite punctuation to use

#my post #polls #mine is commas. also semicolons and em dashes #but commas i use so much in unnecessary places that i do it without even thinking. i simply love to use pauses for emphasis

Ross is the real tragic figure in Macbeth not because he has any kind of tragic arc but because he is predestined to be chronically in the wrong place at the wrong time. Macbeth is actually the story of Ross stumbling from one traumatic event to another. He witnesses the battle against Norway; just misses seeing the witches; is at Inverness the night Duncan is murdered; must be up all night because he relays the horrors of the night to the old man after Duncan dies; attends the Macbeth-is-guilty dinner party; tries to warn Lady Macduff to flee Scotland only to return and find her, her children, and all of her servants murdered; has to be the one to break this news to Macduff and Malcolm; and is present when Macduff shows up with Macbeth’s severed head in hand.

If Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, Macduff, and Malcolm (and Fleance?) end this play miserable, they’ve got NOTHING on poor Ross.

#shakespeare #macbeth #ross (Macbeth) #this is why I headcanon all the minor thanes as best friends #(except for Lennox… he’s weird. I’ll talk about that at some point) #ross deserves SOME happiness in his life #questionable semicolon usage in this post… #but a list that includes lists (I BELIEVE) uses semicolons rather than commas #does that make my last semicolon and Oxford semicolon? #I’m on team Oxford comma #nothing can change my mind about that

Semicolons save me…semicolons…save me semicolons

#typing that shit faster than I breathe oxygen; they’re more useful than you could EVER understand! #I’m a proofreader and copy editor and DAMN I never see anyone use them correctly. #it’s always avoid at all costs or use my girl like an Oxford comma. #FREE MY GIRL SHE DID NOTHING TO DESERVE THIS #anyway #writing #semicolon #save me meme #writing essays #writing songs #writing poetry #grammar #punctuation #proofreading #copy editing

2 words I've seen people get mixed up in pronunciation and usage as of late that I find kinda interesting:

Wander & Wonder

Wander: to walk around without direction or purpose

Wonder: to question with curiosity

1 letter difference in spelling, but they're very different and their pronunciations are also different Wander (wahn-der) & Wonder (whun-der).

#ghostie mumbles #listening to and watching a video rn of a guy playing a game and reading some secrets and he read 'wander' as 'wonder' and it made me think #I'd be pretty good as an editor I think. if an editor is a person who goes through someone else's writing-- #--and helps correct the spelling and words. grammatical punctuation trips me up sometimes when you get into the-- #--semantics(?) about it. like where do you put the comma? when do you use a semicolon? but otherwise. yeah. #I could at least be a human spellcheck lol

[opportunity-strikes]

I do not punctuate with logic. He who punctuates with grammar rules has forgotten the face of his father. I punctuate with my heart.

#sara speaks #i use commas TOO MUCH! #the ellipses is my BEST FRIEND!!! #semicolon my beloved!!! #DASHES MY SWEETHEART #you will pry incorrect punctuation from my cold dead hands #i am not writing for anyone but myself and i will follow erratic whimsey to punctuate it

i would pay actual money to see these three on stream together. three new englander gamers with very little sanity left

#i say as someone who's only watched one of them live. the others i just watch clips of on yt #failboat #NOT tagging the other two hell no #so funny to me that vinny and jerma look a good deal like them meanwhile boat is so drastically different from his real life appearance #anyway im aware vinny and jerma have collabed in the past + there was the among us vr stream #but i would really like to see this trio in action. throw boat in with these two and he would crank up the chaotic energy to 11 #definitely didnt intentionally make vinny look a little like hot-rod. nope not at all #look it doesnt help that theres an image of vinny wearing a green plaid jacket JUST LIKE HOT-ROD. they just have the exact same vibes dude #actually just shipwreck hot-rod and milkshake fr #<- me being deranged about my oc world #ah yes. my friend; his friend and his friend's friend (pretend the semicolon is a comma ok) #sorry im not normal

writing is googling 'how to use semicolon' every 40 seconds

#i hate this fucking thing #i dont want to only be using commas and .s forever. but WHAT. #is a semicolon like girl whaaattttt #tjey make me cry #at my grown age not knowing what a semicolon does or is is just. so embarrassing #blah blah! #not 75 stuff #well......

[petr1kov]

people who use commas on tags scare me... how are you doing this

#i've been forced to use semicolons and full stops all this time... if i put a comma it becomes another tag. what the hell

[goldenpinof]

Dan's rant about dash usage just proved how much of a dannie i am

#bro you're SO valid. just slap dashes everywhere #who cares about commas or colons when you have a dash #semicolons are useful only in a loooong sentences #dan #ywgttn

[neige-leblanche]

wait naur i used a semicolon where i should have used a comma on my carrd

#txt #fixed but thats WAY more embarrassing than using a comma where you should have used a semicolon

[jonathanrook]

do you ever, like, use a piece of punctuation correctly but fear while you're doing it that people are gonna tell you that you did it wrong bc it's an uncommon usage

#just used semicolons to separate elements in a list where each element contained their own commas #and i'm scared people are gonna be like “you don't use semi colons for that!” yes you do #rachel rants

#pluiplup's rambles #pluiplup's art #i genuinely couldnt tell you where i need to use semicolons or commas and that definitely shows

[insectfoodz]

I don't mean to be mean but why do y'all english speakers write like that. I literally didn't believe semicolons existed in english grammar until months ago because I have NEVER seen anyone use them why do you just use commas I'm going insane

#online i get it #i also like not using any punctuation for the sake of comedy #but I've seen serious works #where it feels liek they just word sentences in a way to avoid using semicolons #just use semicolons #i love semicolons #they are so useful #but i literally was like #well i have to use a comma here because this doesn't exist in english i think

[plugscyber]

...I've just realized I can use google docs to punctuation check my writing. Guess I'm putting some of my fics on Ao3 though there.

#I learned what semicolons are and want to use the little buggers correctly #and not forget commas ect
