description:
In recent news, the French have collectively decided that there is no longer a use for the seemingly harmless semi-colon. Or point-virgule, en francais. That the question should even be raised has caused great annoyance deep within my heart, soul and, indeed, nervous system as the semi-colon is the sole property of the English language. Therefore, the French have no claim to the innocent mark of punctuation and should back off. It's part of our history, if nothing else. And that's good enough for me.
And so, after thoroughly scrutinising all reported sides of the argument, I have - or rather, the child in me has - decided to create a mix - perhaps more than one - dedicated wholly and solely to the necessity that is Punctuation.
NB/ Despite good intentions, finding decent songs with good punctuation is a tough ol' trawl and I got a bit tired, so it only a wee little mix. Do feel free to add suggestions and better the job..
