>As for semicolons, semicolons are neat, they are like the coolest punctuation mark after the em dash — the fundamental indecision compressed into a single punctuation mark — you are neither starting a new sentence nor you are, exactly, continuing an existing one. You are just… piling your stuff together.

A semicolon is more than a comma but less than a colon. It's for when I want to use a comma, but it would be grammatically incorrect to.
