SemiColon Imperative

A Guide to Proper Usage

In the great tradition of tyrannical dictators, the SemiColon is a master of subtlety and nuance. But subtlety can be a heavy burden, and sometimes, one must be firm.

Always use the SemiColon in pairs, lest you wish to be seen as a savage.
Never use the SemiColon as a standalone, unless you're trying to make a point, and even then, it's probably not a good idea.
Respect the SemiColon's personal space. A minimum of 4px is expected between each SemiColon.

Failure to comply will result in... well, let's just say, punishment.
