While I'm at it, please do not overuse the exclamation mark.  It's blasphemy for punctuation marks, as far as I'm concerned.

No, one thing is being a grammar Nazi. Another is not knowing the difference between you're and your. I mean, seriously, this is grade school level ****. I've always seen grammar Nazis as people that complain about run on sentences, lack of punctuation, using the wrong punctuation (for example, when to use colon and semi-colon). 

*shakes fists in the air*

Semi-colons are only ever used to join two independent clauses, or separate lists that already use commas such as "City, State", or "Surname, First Name".
Really not sure how schools skip over this. [Mine did.]

Semi-colons are possibly my favourite, least appreciated punctuation.  It's a shame no one ever uses them to their full potential.

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

I feel like a douch every time I use a semicolon. At least 75% of my posts include a ";" or a "-" - or both.
