Pedantic improve your grammar/spelling post by Blackbyrd22006-11-19 12:55:59
  A capital letter after a semicolon? by LionsPhil2004-05-11 08:18:39
    Possibly not. by Blackbyrd22004-05-11 08:34:08
      Not what I was taught. by LionsPhil 2004-05-11 08:40:50
Colons for lists. Semicolons can be used to seperate complex items in lists.

To install Malboge Linux you will need: 1GB free hard drive space; 2 litres of fresh goat's blood; a piece of chalk, any length, made from human bone; a death wish.


The rest more-or-less matches, though. A colon is (can be?) used for continuation, or further expansion, of a point.

You shouldn't handle the install media without gloves: Malboge Linux CDs drip with pure evil.
