POPSSemicolon Obsolete? When I first saw this article on clipmarks, clipped by righthand, I thought is was a bit of April Foolery. I was so intrigued, I went to the full article to read about the obsolete semicolon. The semicolon turns out to be the tip of an iceberg. The larger issue being "For many believers, the defence of the point-virgule is, of course, a logical extension of France's ongoing battle against the inexorable decline of its language." "French is becoming increasingly anglicised." I do not think there is any foolishness in the decline of a language.
