About Me
- Name: AntToeKnee
- Location: Manchester, United Kingdom
Raised on a kelp farm in Norway in 1847 and kept in suspended animation until 1982, the young AntToeKnee is in remarkable condition. He awaits the return to Earth of our Victorian overlords with a unique blend of excitment and casual indifference. Be assured, he may yet prove useful.

Lizzie
beg pardon?
I have a comment on this post. Not about the pedotranny (although using one word to describe BOTH Crankies is a little unconventional).
No, my comment is on the use of the semi-colon and the colon. The colon is used "in order to introduce one or more directly related ideas" whereas the semicolon is reserved "to join related independent clauses in compound sentences". As the summary and Pedotranny parts of your sentence are clearly not independent, then the colon should be used.
Frankly, I am very disheartened at the frequency semicolon misuse amongst so-called educated authors.
To explain lizzie's comment; the Norway reference is to the kelp farm on which you were raised.
