Part 1/5 in this week's set of videos, tentatively titled "The Punctuation Situation," detailing some of the pros and cons of the usage of the oft-neglected and abused semicolon. For the record, yes, there is a colon joke in this video. Duh.

Note #1: Apologies for the late upload, there were some complications in filming and editing which made things go a bit slower than expected. My final render ended up not being so final, and it took a good hour to fix and re-render/upload it. Which kind of makes the opening statement in this video even more appropriate!

Note #2: More apologies for the poor acting in the split-screen section (i.e. constantly looking off to the left because i was referencing my outline). The upstairs neighbors were doing construction all day, so I didn't get to do many takes between the noise.
