Semicolon 

A strange symbol who's origins are cloaked in mystery. It is believed to hold magical properties but it's true nature is still unknown mankind.

The world's top historians have found a link that connects the birthplace of all religions back to the semicolon. The earliest semicolon discovered, on Earth, dates back over 800 million years, according to paleontologists. However, images taken from the Mars Rover have also discovered several stone carvings of this mark.

To this date, the only use that scholars and scientists alike have been able to find for the semicolon is to combine it with other punctuation marks, like the closed parenthesis, sometimes separated by a hyphen.

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."
