Usage/difference
Lily takes an overdose of the sleeping draught and dies; perhaps it is suicide, perhaps an accident.
Shouldn't this be a comma? Is perhaps equal to maybe? Guess there is no difference?
I'd have wrote ; maybe it is suicide, or maybe it was accident.
If it comes; let it. If it goes; let it. (What about this usage? The semi colon after the subordinate clause- accurate)
