Can I write an entire book with only one period at the very end? Every sub-sentence is related to the topic of the book.

[–] idunnololz 2 points 9 months ago

Maybe I can have "submodules" in the form of sections; each section just has one period at the end and semicolons everywhere else.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

is it then grammatically incorrect to use a full stop instead of a semicolon

[–] idunnololz 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Are line breaks allowed after a semicolon? Eg. I missed the bus;

guess I'm walking to school.

Yes, if you're e. e. cummings.
