A Punctuation Primer: How Do You Use The Demicolon Again?

You’ll be happy to know that there is some new punctuation available for you to use. Which is good, because I was getting a little tired of some of the old, run-of-the-mill stuff.
The demicolon is one of my favorites.
And there’s more. It’s here at collegehumor.com and it was a lot of fun to read. We’re all getting older, but — who knew? — College Humor is still funny!
Thanks to The Copywriter Underground for spotting this.
aloha ,
thats a great read on demicolon, i’m not familiar with this and if its real or not, but i like the though of using this…thanks for sharing and clarifying if you can
It’s a spoof, but a fun one! They created some others, as well, which you can see by clicking on the collegehumor.com link.
Thanks for the note.

Love the demi-colon! I sense the influence of Terry Pratchett, no?
