I dearly love semicolons and colons; I also am a big fan of the Oxford comma, parenthetical statements, and quotation marks. (Ellipses, not so much.)
It's extremely gratifying when the child whose papers you've been editing lo these many years (and who, four years ago, couldn't spell his way out of a box with a compass and both hands) comes to you with a joke about punctuation. Even if he did lift it from Facebook, I appreciate that he understands the humor.
