#WritersCoffeeClub 3/4: Do you use semicolons? Correctly?
I really don’t like the current disdain for semicolons, and I’m absolutely not going to stop using them.
My reading of Kate Atkinson’s Shrines of Gaiety (usually an author I love) was seriously spoiled because someone had obviously been through replacing semicolons with commas. Er, guys, if you’re going to do that, you need to rewrite the whole sentence. Or better, leave well alone.
Semicolons for ever!
