L.O. To revise the use of the semi-colon
A semicolon is an economical way to join two sentences, and therefore two ideas, so that your reader sees the relationship.
The semicolon is another important tool you can use when you write. There are two ways to use this punctuation mark: as a connector between two sentences and as a 'supercomma'.
Comparisons are often used to emphasize a basic idea; however, they are more often used to explain something complex or unfamiliar by showing how something we don't understand relates to something we do.

WARNING: never glue two sentences together with only a comma. Grammarians call this sentence error a comma splice.
