Semicolons. It's no accident that a semicolon is a period atop a comma. Like commas, semicolons indicate an audible pauseâslightly longer than a comma's, but short of a period's full stop. Semicolons have other functions, too. But first, a caveat: avoid the common mistake of using a semicolon to replace a colon (see the Colons section). Incorrect: I have one goal; to find her. Correct: I have one goal: to find her. Rule 1. A semicolon can replace a period if the writer wishes to narrow the gap between two closely linked sentences.
