Question about my essay!
Four months: that is all they gave her.
This is a line from my essay. Is the use of the colon appropropriate here? It was originally a comma, but I changed it to a colon for emphasis.

Hi, It's OK, but I prefer a comma, at least for a formal essay. Your version seems to me a bit less formal, more suitable for a personally expressive kind of essay. Clive
