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."
