Semicolon: The Past, Present, and Future of a Misunderstood Mark

By Cecelia Watson

This “biography” of everyone’s favorite (or least favorite?) punctuation mark takes a deep dive into the history of the semicolon. Watson encourages readers to be flexible in their semicolon usage rather than adhering strictly to rules. It’s sure to be a hit among editors, since we all know the importance of rule-breaking.
