He took great offense at the semicolon comment, but I'm not convinced it was meant to be snide. Kinda sounds like the interviewer with just pointing out the semicolons in a roundabout way.
But I supposed another lesson for interviewers is to be aware of how stressful interviews are for the candidate, and to mind their language and jokes.

A joke like that when somebody is under interview stress has the possibility (not the guarantee, but the possibility) of harming the interviewee's chances by nudging them in the wrong way at the wrong time in a tough situation, and that's pretty lousy to do to somebody.
