§ 15.127. Semicolons.

 The following are guidelines for the use of semicolons:

   (1)  Use the semicolon between two main clauses not joined by one of the simple co-ordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, nor, for).

   (2)  Use the semicolon to separate two or more co-ordinate elements, one or both of which contain commas.

   (3)  Use the semicolon at the end of enumerations in separate paragraphs which take the form of a sentence and are either in the conjunctive or disjunctive.
