Non of the people pirating content have money to buy more stuff. These tens of billions they talk about don’t exist.

If you’re using a semi colon, you need to make sure it’s a stand-alone sentence on both sides.

Replying to an earlier post

You might be the only person in the country that knows how to use semi colons then. I thought it was just when you are already breaking apart a sentence in commas and want a list within one of those comma breaks.

If you mean like when you’re creating a list of items that already contain commas, such as New York, NY; Boston, MA; and Sacramento, CA, then that is also a valid use of semicolons.

My error was writing my sentence with a valid semicolon, then editing the sentence structure without replacing the semicolon with a comma before posting.
