Blinded!

my 11 yr old is doing semi colons at the moment

although the teacher said she has no idea why it is still on the curriculum because she is yet to come across an adult (except for English teachers) who actually use it and, if they do, use it correctly.

The teacher needs to read more widely, it seems.
 
This is one of those occasions when an Oxford comma would really help make things clearer:

And, perhaps, remove the word "back" so that there is parallel structure in each of the prepositional phrases so that they can all reference the verb "went".

Pendantically yours,
 
Thanks Nick, that's great.

On another unrelated note, shall I make the check out to Mr N Fitz, or Gibbon Enterprises Ltd? :D

Oh Suity. In this of all threads.

:rolleyes:

Unless I've misunderstood and you're offering a Checkout by Suity as a plan B.

Nick. You look great. Don't bother with it.
