The dreaded semicolon

This entry will remind some people of another entry I wrote a while ago about the use of the apostrophe.

I am puzzled at the moment as MS Word keeps wanting to add semicolons into my sentences. I'm writing selection criteria statements as part of my job applications and I really don't see why Word needs to add semicolons. What purpose do they serve?! It made me think about it a bit more and I suddenly realised something - I have no idea when to use a semicolon! Shocking aye!!

Anyway, I should get back to my selection criteria statements as I have 2 due on Monday *sigh*
