Strunkian followers (that’s William Strunk, Jr.) bow down to rule #5; “If two or more clauses grammatically complete and are not joined by a conjunction are to form a single compound sentence; the proper mark of punctuation is a semicolon.”
For example: Tatum’s romances are entertaining; they are full of exciting adventures.
It’s nearly March; Gray Lace will hopefully be released by Rebel Ink Press.
Gray Lace is often confused with Spanish moss; please hug the book not the parasite. It’s full of red bugs; the following itch is unbearable.
An exception to the semicolon rule is worth …
Enough!
