I was just reminded of the semicolon thing because of Echos' comment. I wasn't trying to say it was the same thing as what you were talking about.
I have nothing against people being bad at grammar. It's a set of arbitrary rules and it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things as long as your point gets across and no one's grammar is perfect all the time anyway. It was just that it didn't "fit" with my image of my T ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
