Dear Mr. Peterson,
We have recieved intelligence that you misued a semicolon at six minutes past eight this morning in your livejournal blog "revconor."

you should use the word "plethora."

my friend and i had a game during our degree together that we'd think of a oft-neglected word and it HAD to go into our next essay seemlessly. the word had to be thought of without knowing what our next essay topics would be. words included plethora, cornucopia, clandestine, ersatz, eldritch, and others i've forgotten. and if you could get the word into the title of your essay... well, then, you just kicked ass.
