Focusing on the semicolon's historical significance, Cecelia Watson explores its evolution from a beloved punctuation mark to a symbol of confusion in language rules. The book examines various texts, including works by Milton and Martin Luther King Jr., to illustrate how rigid grammar guidelines hinder effective communication. Watson argues that even grammar enthusiasts may benefit from abandoning strict rules in favor of a more flexible approach to language, ultimately enhancing our ability to connect with one another.
