Of course it now occurs to me that the semicolon is ALL ABOUT waffling.

Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey, I love the semicolon! But you've got to admit, it's a waffly sort of guy.

The semi-colon is not waffly at all. When used properly, it is used where neither a period nor a comma would be quite right; the semi-colon is the ONLY appropriate choice in that context. Which makes it not at all waffly. The anti-waffle, if you will.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

When we took our Constitution test in 8th grade, you could hear kids all over the room humming the melody under their breath.

When Casper was sick last week, her teacher emailed me some homework and it included watching the Schoolhouse Rock video on nouns. This made me feel good about her pedagogy!
