Semicolons should only be used to:
- Link independent clauses (**without** a conjunction):
	> The Great Zebra tomato ripens without turning red; it's difficult to know when one is ready to eat
- Separate list items that already contain commas:
	> While the United Nations is headquartered in New York City, it also has central offices in Nairobi, Kenya; Geneva, Switzerland; and Vienna, Austria.
