Grammar
Semicolons!
I've always been good with English and maintained the highest of scores but there s one thing I just don't get and that is semicolons! How do they work? Where should I place them? Should I place them anywhere?
I do apologize greatly for asking such a simple question.

- 2-- To separate items in a list that have internal commas.
