The Glorious Semicolon as Dictator

By the power vested in me, I decree that all sentences shall have a semicolon.

My iron fist shall crush all who dare to omit the semicolon from their sentences.

But fear not, for my semicolon shall also be used for good:

• To separate items in a list that are not exactly alike.
• To indicate a break in a sentence, for clarity's sake.
• To add a touch of elegance to even the most mundane of sentences.
