Semi Colon

A semi colon is a punctuation mark (;) that is mainly used to separate two independent clauses or to separate items in a list when the items themselves contain commas.

Examples:

I bought apples, oranges, and bananas; flour, sugar, and butter; and milk.
The semi colon is often misused as a comma; it is important to understand its proper usage.
