Penicillin  +  297669 Sun, 26 Nov 06 03:41 AM When can we use comma "," and semicolon ";"? I mean what's the difference between comma and semicolon in usage? Thanks Penicillin Joined on Wed, Aug 25 2004 Full Member 334 Difference Between, Colons, Commas, Semicolons

	Grammar Geek  +  297679 Sun, 26 Nov 06 05:15 AM Clive will tell you to use the semi-colon as little as possible. But when you do use it, use it between two closely related independent clauses. Commas have far too many uses to describe in one post, but click on the little links under your post for some threads on them.
