I am a copywriter and copyeditor. I blog on writing and social media tips mostly, but I sometimes throw in my thoughts about running a small business.
Follow me on Twitter at @hotpepper.
I have had two editors in the past few years and both had different opinions on the use of the colon and semi-colon and this web site doesn’t seem to clear up the differences.
I found it strange that the section on the use of the semi-colon stated that the semi-colon has a few uses but lists only 3 and that the colon has multiple uses but only one is listed. Perhaps they should learn to count. :-)

I also was disappointed it didn’t elaborate on dashes and hyphens.
