I love the great spelling debates, especially when teachers get involved. It’s icing on the cake when they whine about low pay while doing it. I wet myself when teachers whining about low pay get it wrong and leave more mistakes in their post than others do.

Ryan-WI, in the exact same sentence that you are correcting Kenneth R Ohnstad on the proper use of a semicolon, you missed placing one yourself. You should have put one after "wonderful". So rather than trying to put a semicolon in Kenneth R Ohnstad's work, you should have keep it back for your own use (semicolons are expensive after all). But wait, it gets better. Not only did Ryan-WI totally mess up the proper use of a semicolon, he doesn’t even know the proper way to spell it. Semicolon is always one word although with a hyphen is considered OK but not proper (it’s considered outdated IIRC).
