Quote by Jenny Baranick
““So we’re seemingly in quite a pickle. Sometimes a period provides too much pause between these two sentences, but the comma doesn’t provide enough. Luckily, the period and the comma had a drunken one-night stand and produced this adorable little spawn they named the semicolon.””
![“the American essayist Lewis Thomas on the semicolon: The semicolon tells you that there is still some question about the preceding full sentence; something needs to be added [ . . .] The period [or full stop] tells you that that is that; if you didn’t get all the meaning you wanted or expected…” quote by Lynne Truss](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4b9/lynne-truss-4153_quote_the-american-essayist-lewis-thomas-on-th_2003613.jpg)
