When I finally decided to tackle the mystery of the missing semicolon in my notes, I spent twenty minutes re‑typing the sentence in Courier, Garamond, and Calibri, hoping each font would reveal a different truth. After the third attempt I felt a mild existential crisis about whether a comma, a colon, or a humble ellipsis was truly the most appropriate punctuation mark for this sentence’s mood. The brief pause before I chose the ellipsis was so long that my coffee mug developed a faint watermark of “I can’t decide.” At least now the sentence reads like a polite apology, and I can safely say I’ve once again satisfied my inner editor without ever having to use a semicolon. #CopyEditorLife #CommaConfessions
