Jon Henley, in the Guardian, writes about the possible demise of the mighty semicolon.
From the headline:
An unlikely row has erupted in France over suggestions that the semicolon's days are numbered; worse, the growing influence of English is apparently to blame. Jon Henley reports on the uncertain fate of this most subtle and misused of punctuation marks. Aida Edemariam discovers which writers love it - and which would be glad to see it disappear.
Me - I love the semicolon. One of the best grammatical marks ever(!), right up there with the &.

I do love "&" and I think ";" is pretty great as well, unfortunately I'm not able to us use it for fear of misuse... (sigh)
