The semi-colon is, I believe, the most useful but underused gadget; however it’s incorrect use, as you are doing in your post, is almost as annoying, but not quite, as people who overuse use comas.

I think it was a hasty mis-typing of "commas" and the spell checker didn't flag it.

The Ghost believes it was used incorrectly and that the sentence would have been better served with a simple comma. 😏
