Wotcher - so Cockneys are amphibians? I 'ardly fink so, guv.
Anyway, the 'wrong' usage of the semicolon quoted looks perfectly o.k. for me, while the 'correct' usage is rather poor - while not wrong, i'd prefer a colon there.
I'm used to apply the semicolon as a sort of super-comma, to denote a break too significant for a comma but not enough so to warrant a period. Whether or not a semicolon should be used is then a judgement call of the writer, not a definite 'wrong/false' rule.
And hey, you _can_ use a semicolon in co;rrect.
My favourite irritating mistypes are the "they're/their/there" triplet.

Are you sure about that? There is quite a debate.
"Whip me!" pleads the adom player. The rng replies... "No."
The proper use for "A" and "An" is "A" is used for continents and "An" is used for vowels. idk about Historic because since i don't even know how to pronounce it, but if the H is silent, use an. If it's pronounced, use a.
When in darkness, you can always see the light (unless you're in ADOM)
Most successful combos for me: Grey elf wizards, trollish healers, dark elf beast-fighters, Gnomey monks, and any race barbarians.
As in "a Africa"?
Oops, auto correct kicked in. Constants (such as b,c,d,f,g and so on)

I think you mean consonants.. unless we're now talking about equations.
As for the "historic" debate I'm with the A team..
Well, an university would say that is an Utopian idea : )
Both are considered acceptable, but 'a historic' gets
the nod.

"Historic" is not pronounced with as "istoric" unless you're a frenchman. If that isn't reason enough to say "a historic" instead of "an historic", the second sounds fucking stupid and is hard to say without sounding like a total douche.
