I thought it might be a good idea to discuss a few guidleines.Use a semicolon to separate two main clauses not joined by a coordinating conjunction:
Those who write clearly have readers; those who write obscurely have commentators.
We can also use a semicolon to separate main clauses joined by a conjunctive adverb (such as however, consequently, otherwise, moreover, nevertheless):
A great many people may think that they are thinking; however, most are merely rearranging their prejudices.
Basically, a semicolon (whether followed by a conjunctive adverb or not) serves to coordinate two main clauses.
Colons (:)
Use a colon to set off a summary or a series after a complete main clause:
It is time for the baby's birthday party: a white cake, strawberry-marshmellow ice cream, and a bottle of champagne saved from another party.
Notice that a main clause does not have to follow the colon; however, a complete main clause generally should precede it.
Dashes (--)
Use a dash to set off a short summary after a complete main clause:
At the bottom of Pandora's box lay the final gift--hope.
We may also use a pair of dashes in place of a pair of commas to set off words, phrases, or clauses that interrupt a sentence with additional--but not essential--information:
In the great empires of antiquity--Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, Persia--splendid though they were, freedom was unknown.
Unlike parentheses (which tend to de-emphasize the information contained between them), dashes are more emphatic than commas. And dashes are particularly useful for setting off items in a series that are already separated by commas.
These three punctuation marks--semicolons, colons, and dashes--are most effective when used sparingly. Some writers, such as novelist Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., would prefer to do away with the semicolon altogether:
Maybe we should all practice creating Sentences with Semicolons, Colons, and Dashes
Use each sentence below as the model for a new sentence. Your new sentence should follow the accompanying guidelines and use the same punctuation contained in the model.
1:
Levin wanted friendship and got friendliness; he wanted steak and they offered Spam.
Guideline: Use a semicolon to separate two main clauses not joined by a coordinating conjunction.
2:
Your essay is both good and original; however, the part that is good is not original, and the part that is original is not good.
Guideline: Use a semicolon to separate main clauses joined by a conjunctive adverb.
3:
There are three choices in this life: be good, get good, or give up.
Guideline: Use a colon to set off a summary or a series after a complete main clause.
4:
The fortune teller reminded us that there is only one thing we can count on for sure--total uncertainty.
Guideline: Use a dash to set off a short summary after a complete main clause.
5:
Our labors in life--learning, earning, and yearning--are also our reasons for living.
Guideline: For the sake of clarity or emphasis use a pair of dashes to set off words, phrases, or clauses that interrupt a sentence.
Now we can discuss the crux of the matter!! Is it "Connects to :- name "?
"Connects to ; name"?
"Connects to - name"?
Or "Connects to name "?
Google Noddy Land moi? That's not nice.
