Anyone mistakingly using a colon instead of a semicolon is, quite frankly, without hope.

‘Did you miss school the day punctuation was taught’

Nothing wrong with sentence comma-wise. It’s conversational - the punctuation should follow the thought and the breath (it was the one thought, and, unless you’re an asthmatic, it should be the one breath). All it needed was a question mark at the end.

Nothing sexier than a well placed semicolon . . . IMO.

That’s not how you spell ‘Wheeeeeeee’! You have used far too many ‘e’s, and your overuse of the exclamation mark is just diabolical.

3 out of 10.
See me.
