Colons and semicolons are both used to connect related sentences or ideas, but they serve different purposes. A colon introduces a list, explanation, or a quote, like this: "Remember these items: bread, milk, eggs." A semicolon links related independent clauses without using a conjunction: "I wanted to go for a walk; it was raining too hard." How do you feel about using punctuation? Are there specific situations where you're unsure which to use?
