Colon (:) introduces something. You usually use it when what comes after is a list, or an explanation, or even a reveal.
An example is “she had one rule: never apologize” or “this is a list of things you should get from the market: eggs, tomatoes…”
It’s also used as the eyes in a smiley face :)
Semicolon (;) connects two complete thoughts that are related but could stand alone as separate sentences. It’s stronger than a comma but softer than a full stop.
An example is “Frank never apologized; he didn't think he was wrong”
It’s also used as the eyes in a winking face ;)
@housecor It is very useful in cases where the client is working with an unstable API. I learnt this the hard way when users tell you that visiting a page shows up a white screen, upon investigation, you realized that the backend engineer changed the shape of an object response.
Please twitter. I’ve been looking for my mom she hasn’t come home since from work, and her colleagues said she wasn’t at work. Please help me find her. Please I beg of you.
Oh, I have a few
1. If it bugs you when you’re dating, it’s not gonna go away once you marry
2. Look at people in the eye when you say hi/hello/good morning…
3. When you finally find something that took you a while to locate, put it back in the first place you tried. That's where it belongs.
4. When you say no, don’t explain. Explanations indicate you can be argued out of your stance.
5. Nothing is the end of the world except the ACTUAL end of the world.
6. The end of the road is the beginning of a road
7. Not everybody has to find their passion. Just find a job you don't hate.
8. Before saying something about someone else, pretend that person is listening and how you would feel if you knew they heard you.
9. Read books. Expand your mind, vocabulary, and perspective. Never stop learning.
10. Don’t walk with both of your hands in your pockets - if you trip, you’ll fall flat on your face.
11. Always write things down, on paper, or on your phone, especially when you find yourself "taking mental notes" because you. will. forget.
12. Remember that it’s a privilege to have dishes that need washing
13. Perfume and cologne are meant to be discovered, not to announce your presence.
14. If your dog doesn’t like someone, trust their judgment.
15. If you’re trying to make a decision, flip a coin. Then pick whichever option it is you’re rooting for while the coin is still in the air.
