I know GBS likes tattoos and raising awareness so I wanted to share this.

http://toprightnews.com/if-you-see-someone-with-a-semicolon-on-their-body-this-is-what-it-really-means/

quote:

According to IJR, in 2013, Bluel tragically lost her father to suicide. She wanted to honor her father as well as raise awareness for mental health issues.

So she founded a non-profit organization named Project Semicolon. The goal of the project is to restore hope and confidence in people who are troubled by addiction, depression, self-harm, and suicide.

The non-profit encourages these people to draw or tattoo a semicolon on their wrist.



When will you be getting yours?

“A semicolon is used when an author could’ve chosen to end their sentence, but chose not to. The author is you and the sentence is your life.”

That's actually super annoying. Those sentences are like the textbook example of where to use a semicolon.
