Questions regarding grammar and meanings.
Hi.
When is it appropriate to use a semi-colon ";" mid sentence?
When is it appropriate to use anything other than an ellipses "..." in a paragraph, sentence etc? For example would "He had too many.. One too many" OR "He had too many.... One too many" be wrong?
What are good ways to learn correct word spelling and meanings? I'm trying to write a word bank of words to remember their meanings so I have an alternative to smaller more common words.
I'm not understanding the meaning of the following words, can someone help me out (please if you could explain the meaning, I've tried numerous dictionaries):
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Yes, welcome to the Forum.
Let me try the next question.
When is it appropriate to use anything other than an ellipses "..." in a paragraph, sentence etc? I don't understand your question. There are lots of paragraphs where an ellipsis is not required or desired. Can you clarify what you are asking about?
For example would "He had too many.. One too man
