Get a life. sheesh.

I'm sorry that you are so unhappy with the world, but I don't think there's
anything I can do about it.

I think you meant "you're," not "your," and "exercise," not "execrise."
Also there should be a colon after the word "sentence" in your post; you
have a dangling clause. (Speaking of college).

It never fails that someone correcting somebody else's writing always makes
grammatical errors. <g>

Thank you! Your positive comments ARE very good for my ego, but don't
get too carried away (it might go to my pretty little head ;-)

Different references will give different preferences for using the colon and
the semi-colon.

College indeed.

No, you are incorrect.

According to Kate L. Turabian's "A Manual for Writers," section 3:89,
"The use of a colon in a sentence indicates a discontinuity of
grammatical construction
greater than that indicated by a semicolon. Whereas the semicolon is
used to separate
parts that are usually of equal significance, the colon is used to
introduce a clause or
phrase that expands, clarifies, or exemplifies the meaning of what
precedes it."

"That's a real short sentence: seven whole letters" would be a classic
example the correct use of
the colon according to Turabian's explanation. (I kept her writer's manual
for all these years since college for moments like this!)
