semicolon
The character ";" that you probably never use. It's used to fix comma splicing by separating two independent clauses while still including them in the same sentence. For example:
"I watch My Little Pony, Fluttershy is my favorite character."
can be corrected to
"I watch My Little Pony; Fluttershy is my favorite character."
People also use them in an attempt to sound smart when writing; almost in a condescending way; even if they don't know what they mean; and they never seen to realize how fabricated their writing looks with all the semicolons; and they probably started abusing them after reading classical novels."
"I watch My Little Pony, Fluttershy is my favorite character."

essay
A short piece of writing with an average of 5 paragraphs that school children write to improve their experience in writing, grammar and reasoning. They get annoying and laborious once you reach middle school.
The topics that teachers give their students for essays are usually boring and irrelevant topics that are more enjoyable for adults, and sometimes they are actually some of the most impractical subjects to write an essay on.
The most common type is the argumentative essay. The total amount of written material from every argumentative essay a child has had to write that does nothing to enhance their knowledge or skill would probably rival that of the Marvel Universe, DC Universe, Star Wars Universe and Old and New Testament combined. I honestly think it's why kids get so pissed on the internet; because they've been trained to react defiantly to any sort of controversy. I usually title my argumentative essays with "Argumentative Essay Number" followed by a massive number like 40 billion or something.
