- philwelch 16y agoMany people do. Spoken language rarely transcribes to good written language.
- bobbyi 16y agoAll that is required to transcribe that quote correctly (and a few others in the article) is to use a semicolon instead of a comma.
- philwelch 16y agoOh, I know. One of my friends noted the same thing recently--people use semicolons all the time in spoken language. But in written language it looks pretentious somehow.
- chc 16y agoPeople don't use semicolons in speech — they use emdashes.
- chopsueyar 16y agoI always wondered what a semicolon sounded like.
