Fucking loving the hyphen, son

[Kid Presentable]

Although I can never figure out how it's used - grammar is fun but befuddling.

Yeah, I notice I use it a lot.

I think its because I never clarify a point I am making - just use it to move onto the next thing I want to say.

I worry that I'm using it like a semicolon - I'm happy to be corrected by people if that's the case.

I once learned how to use the semi-colon perfectly. It's mysteries were revelead to me and it was like a light went on in my head. I used it without prejudice. Over the years it has slowly slipped from my mind, and now I am only slightly sure that I can bust it out correctly. Like someone has flicked that light bulb off.

Or turned it down with a dimmer switch.

Over a period of several years.

Now I use it when I want to have a cross between a comma and a this thing ' : '. This may or may not be correct; you are welcome to use it that way too. I am also happy to be corrected, but I find that nobody else really knows how to use it so at least I can look smart.

I think the only use for all these extra characters these days is for emotions.

Grammar is dead; get over it.

Next thing to get rid of is all the vowels (vwls)
