    my coordination is shot since TBI 10 years ago steering me into typing shortcuts involving skipping two key characters requiring both left and right coordination. shift key is a lot of trouble with timing etc. type in all smalls and often substitute semi-colon for colon and two single quotes make a double quote. ‘‘two singles’’ vs “double quote”; easier for me.

    I went in for a procedure but half way through there was an issue and we had to stop.

    It was a failed semicolonoscopy.

    Wait I thought you wrote acrononyms with a semicolon in the United British Kingdom as in U;K ? That is how they do the number stems like 9,5 out of 10 instead of 9.5 out of 10.

    Wow, fools can’t even remember how to spell their own country glad I am on the far side of the english channel!

      I don’t understand this comment. Why do you think the UK uses semicolons in initials or as a decimal instead of the decimal point?

        The second thing is legit, I think. I often communicate with, or see content from, data analysts and researchers from England (I’m in the US). England and many other parts of Europe use a comma as a decimal point.

        I’ve never heard of the semicolon in acronyms/abbreviations, but hey, it’s a big world and I don’t know lots of things.

    So the solution to bad schooling is to change the language? What kind of participation medal IS THIS ?
