    That's something someone who doesn't know how to use semicolons would say. UTSA YES!
    I certainly don't use semicolons when asking questions.

    Do you?

    I mean, do you;

    That's better, right;

    Poor verbal IQ would disallow you from using rhetorical questions, that makes sense.

    You should use a period instead of a comma there.

    Or at least a semicolon.

    There's nothing wrong with a comma in that, now you're changing the subject.

    Of course it is. You just called it a sentence. I often take license for effect, as I would say something like that out loud. Looks like it worked. Maybe ellipses would be more proper. Would you prefer I used ellipses next time?...or just throw in semicolons everywhere like you;

    See? That doesn't really work at the end of a question.

    Grammar can be subjective on a message board? Of course liberties can be taken. If you want me to adhere to strict grammar rules when addressing you, please ask using a question mark like any sane person would.

    This thread is a great example as to why I hardly ever post on this site or even visit it really. It's a sad request from a sad guy that misses his e crew even though all of them are borderline re ed. Then it turns into avante bragging because he's a narcissist, and then the same guys constantly posting to make fun of him. This site is so incredibly gay now thanks to about 5 people...and avante, you're the spark.

    If you could debate evolution you wouldn't have to resort to snarky comments outside the evolution threads.

    I have never, ever seen anyone in my life ask a question with a semicolon.

    I believe anyone who insists that is correct grammar is likely mentally ill.

    Personal anecdote doesn't establish right or wrong, and one can't say that grammar is subjective while claiming that those who don't adhere to it are insane.

    Stop hurting UTSA.

    OK, show me another example of a person posing a question with a semicolon and not a question mark.

    I'll wait.

    No, your saying you saw someone use a semicolon at the end of a question would be an anecdote. Actually showing an example of someone's using a semicolon at the end of a question would support your contention that you were using proper grammar.

    Or you could just post a usage guide that says semicolons are used at the end of questions. That would support your contention quite nicely.

    Something like this could work:

    https://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/Semicolons.html

    Of course this one doesn't say you can end a question with a semicolon. That would be insane.

    Bad grammar doesn't cons ute insanity, you're just being your usual drama queen self with such hyperbole. It's also worth noting that one can't make an argument from the absence of the evidence. The site doesn't state that one can't use a question before a semicolon.

    The fact that you have to lie to win an argument is pretty pathetic of you. If you can, show me where I used an anecdote or said one can use an anecdote to prove my usage of semicolons.

    As long as you admit your bad grammar, that's fine.
    It's also worth noting that one can't make an argument from the absence of the evidence. The site doesn't state that one can't use a question before a semicolon.
    I was illustrating how you could prove your still unproven contention that it is proper grammar to end a question with a semicolon. All the sudden you are on the defensive and demanding I prove a negative, which is another in a long line of your errors and fallacies.

    So I'll wait for you to support your contention that it is proper grammar to end a question with a semicolon. All you really had to do was acknowledge your error and move on -- but this is now really important to you. You'll have to prove it.
