Good article, but I was kinda disappointed not to have what I expected to be a good read about the evolution of how people use semicolons in natural language. Now I want to read that too.

Although it does not have a chapter on the semicolon, check out the book "Shady Characters".

I was all ready to rant about how much I hate semicolons where they are unnecessary...
