We all have our particular areas of excellence. I have a 14 year old nephew who can answer any question about Android phones, but yesterday I sought help from him on proper semicolon usage, and he just shrugged.

Let me rephrase that. Yesterday I sought help from him on proper semicolon usage; he just shrugged.



You might want to eat a lot of leafy greens to help with digestion in the semicolon

My nephew is extremely tech savvy but was stumped by a rotary phone.

When I was a kid in CA we had a push button phone. When I visited my grandparents in a small town in Kansas I always liked using their rotary phone. Thankfully you only had to dial the last 4 numbers when calling another town number.
