I was reading something the other day when my heart suddenly surged with a warm little rush of pleasure. I don't remember the context -- an ad? a letter to the editor? the side of a box? -- but the sight that so gladdened me is indelible: a semicolon. Used correctly! It stood out like a flower in the desert.
You might find it depressing that such a thing excites me. What I find depressing is how rarely it occurs. Fortunately, I'm in good company.
Thanks to Bobbie.
