I dreamed that the other punctuation marks teased me about my name. They said semi means "incomplete" or "half of."
Then I dreamed I had a new name: DEMIcolon. Demi means "of less than full size," which sounds better than "half of."
Later that night, I dreamed about "folks in academia who're wrestling
with the really big questions--like whether Joyce ever used a semicolon
after 1919," as in
Robert Littell's THE COMPANY.
