I'm still learning the art of the semi colon




No, man, I'm talking like you have "of" where it should be "off" and sentences that just don't

agree. For example:



The overly 80's tone of No World For Tomorrow coupled with the heavy and serious, yet stale

sound of Year of the Black Rainbow, many fans were crying foul at the band's sense of direction and

seeming lack of passion in the band, especially after losing their original bass player and drummer.





This sentence's latter half does not agree with its first half. Just read it aloud and you'll hear

what I mean. You do this a lot. Sorry, but I get pissed every time I see something featured that

hasn't been checked for shit like this. It makes the site look poor.

Remember to kill the "were" as well. And re-read and edit this. That's far from the only issue I encountered, man.



I get that you're proud and stuff, but proofread and edit before posting and requesting a feature. I'm not a mod or anything, so I can't speak to their approval of featuring things, but I do get pissed off when someone gets a review with a bunch of errors featured. I'd say it's just me being anal retentive, but it's really bad publishing practice and it's holding this site down and making it look unprofessional.



Again, the content's not bad (it's actually quite eloquent throughout) but poor grammar makes it read like shit. Sorry for being the resident asshole.

Sometimes I wonder if I have rose-colored glasses or if I actually remember a time when this site wasn't a bunch of high schoolers jacking it in a circle and trying to be funny.

It's always been that way, just we were the high schoolers circle-jerking and we were actually pretty funny sometimes.

Kurt Vonnegut: Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.




And then he goes on to use one at the end of the section.



I use them here and there, but I tend to agree: avoid them whenever possible, use them only if you have two idea which cannot seemingly be joined by a dash, comma, or by splitting the sentence in two with a period. Most people just use them to try to look smart and it makes them look retarded to those of us with English degrees.



Of course, when we show up delivering the pizza, we look retarded to everyone else...
