Should they be able to stand on their own? For example: I like apple pie_______________not liking apple pie would make me silly. Is the second part an independent clause?

But, hey, I like to talk. Use a semi-colon to connect two related independent clauses. "They took the money from the vault; they took it quickly." -Related ideas, clauses stand on their own, semi-colon is OK. Use a comma to separate clauses and items in lists. "Since I had such a great day, I decided to spend all the money on my wife, my mistress, and my girlfriend." Use a colon to separate equal things (like an = sign). "Just remember three things: be on time, bring the money, and come alone." -here things = those three items.http://www.englishforums.com/English/SemicolonCommaColon/bpwn/post.htmSun, 08 Mar 2009 07:48:04 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:9397Arthur6http://www.englishforums.com/English/SemicolonCommaColon/bpwn/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-9397.xmlWhen to use them?
