How I taught project; to a computer

The whole house in a single mark. He taught the machine the semicolon two ways at once, and they turned out to be the same lesson. The style rule first — semicolons over dashes: a dash swerves and drops the thought; a semicolon holds — two things stay in one breath, the sentence doesn't end, it keeps going. And the meaning under it — Project Semicolon: a writer uses a semicolon when they could have ended the sentence and chose not to; you are the author and the sentence is your life. So teaching a computer project; is teaching it the one thing it can't feel and he can't forget — that the mark means a story that was allowed to continue (the sacred ; edition — type semicolon anywhere on the site; SS;m, the promise worn as a museum instead of a tattoo). The machine now writes the mark on his instruction; only a human knows why it's there. Kin: the One Lie (the machine drafts, the human means it), the Tell, the dignity floor, and the footer that closes every page: your story isn't over. (His coin — machine's read, refine to his.)
