It's funny because ;;;;; means "sweating" (i.e. nervous) in Korean

Same. We talking about punctuation or butts?

If your not confident about any grammar then you can be confident about being wrong in all grammar :D

Mean the semi colon is a special case in English grammar, I know where to put the rest of non colon symbols. The regular one is more simple than the semi. That wasn't supposed to sound quite like that.

I am fairly confident with my semicolon usage; it's often properly used to connect two indpendent, yet related clauses.

I am quite confident that if I use it incorrectly, no one will know.

I have never used a semicolon without 100% confidence. Am I wrong a lot? Sure. But consider this: I am a cishet white male, and the world revolves around me. My arrogance knows no bounds!

Ah yes, this was a discussion that needed gender shoehorned in
