Please feel free to respond. This message focuses on punctuation because LeClercq says that it is a problem that commonly affects the readability of a text. Similarly, today's punctuation marks are still signals from the writer to the reader. To choose from several punctuation options, LeClercq says that the writer must first decide what message the writer wants to send the reader. To consider the list that follows in the text.
Semicolons generally signal a pause weaker than a period but stronger than a comma.
Consider the following example. The sentence above contains two independent clauses that have related ideas. The writer intends to show the reader the relation. B. Use a comma with the conjunction between two independent clauses A comma generally signals a short pause, and when coupled immediately with a conjunction, the comma invites a quick continuation to the reader's eye. C. Use a colon.
