I was a nontraditional student at the University of Kentucky. I just graduated but the economy is interfering with my career change. However, that means I'll have lots of time to pursue all the good ideas on SO!

Is it proper usage to replace a comma in a list with a semi-colon in this situation (see details)? "With standard punctuation this could get confusing"--in what way? It seems perfectly clear. |

Can “have a feeling that” be used to state a fact? should be "what is the difference BETWEEN the following sentences" |

Is “laid down” a proper term? "You may think of it as the fever forced him to lay down in bed and rest." -- wouldn't that be 'lie down'? |

What is the distinction between “among” and “amongst”? As a transplant to an area near the Appalachian region (which is inhabited by descendants of British immigrants), I've learned that "amongst" and the like actually have a less-distinguished connotation because of perceptions about people from Appalachia. |

Should I write “comma/period” or “comma / period”? RegDwight is correct about removing the spaces. I would make one exception: if the extra space improves readability. This, however, is rare, and the only situation I've seen it used is in computer code that is non-white-space sensitive. |
