Colon or Period?
But beyond that—past his proclivity for helping people—he separates himself in another regard … … … … …
Should I put a period at the end of this and then say the way in which he separates himself? Or a colon and then say it? If it makes a difference, either way it would be a complete sentence afterwards. I don't know, I wouldn't want to be accused of overusing my colons. Thanks for helping!
