I'll be the first to admit that have never been one to use the ";". and i guess i'm not the only one. as I have been reading about them I found that it is one of our punctuation marks that is fast fading the english language. it is very seldom used which is largly due to peoples lack of understanding them.
I found that you can use them as a soft period. when you're still speaking about the same subject.
It is thought to be a more moderate pause. Between a comma and a period.
To separate sentances of equal rank when they contain internal commas
Example: Hunting is an adventure of a lifetime; it is where important life lessons are learned.

Where's your url dude. I don't use semi colons either because I can just use a comma. I guess I better start learning.
