I feel sorry for the people who have toââ,¬Â¨Ã¢â,¬Â¨write the letters to the families of this young lost souls; and for the families.
That is a sentence from a paper I am writing. Did I use the semi colon right?
No.
Nope.
You also didn't use the English language right.
No. A proper use would be like this
I like ice cream; however, cookies are nice too
No.
A semicolon is used to string two sentences together no? Or is that a colon. befuddlement
Only one space between "to" and "write".
"This" should be "these".
"Whom." Objective case.

A semicolon, in most cases, is used to string together two clauses that cannot be placed together as a normal sentence. The two individual clauses are often complete sentences on their own, but they don't have to be. It can also be used similarly to a comma to indicate a series of objects, but that just looks weird. I think to do that, there needs to be internal commas. Another use is to place a semicolon between clauses that are linked with a conjuctive device (be it adverb or normal conjunction).

Semi-colon (the ; symbol) goes anywhere a period AND comma would go.
