Your sentence was not added because the following already exists.
Ah, will nobody think of the poor redundant semicolons? Nobody wants to employ them nowadays.
Seriously, Japanese doesn't use semi-colons. So, when you might have a semicolon in English, the Japanese translation will have either a 。 or a 、.
I prefer this quote (from a website):
Limit your use of semicolons; you should not wantonly scatter them throughout your writing. Semicolons are like glasses of champagne; save them for special occasions.
I will concede and say that they are useful for smileys ;-)
And here I thought I used them too often...
Seriously, I didn't change the punctuation to match the Japanese, but because I felt it looked odd when I read it over (when translating the Icelandic). If others would like the semicolon better represented in the corpus, I'd have no great objection to reverting this to the original.
This has been bothering me for the longest time. Reverted. I think it's better this way.
