Grammar
Semicolon
My understanding is that what comes after a semicolon needs to be an independent clause, as in the first example below. But I regularly see examples of the second example. Any views on this?
"I like going swimming; it keeps me fit and healthy."
"I like going swimming; keeps me fit and healthy."
"I like going swimming; it keeps me fit and healthy."
"I like going swimming; keeps me fit and healthy."
