A Facebook friend posted a saying that I think is quite relevant, and shows exactly why it's important to master the English language:
Grammar:
It's the difference between knowing your shit
and knowing you're shit.

I am not a Grammar Nazis but when I am reading something and I am constantly coming across certain words that cause me go back and re-read a sentence to translate what word they really meant...it sort of pisses me off.
There is one thing I have to admit, Wotmaina taught me a lot about proper spelling/meaning/difference of such words as 'to' and 'too'. I know I still make mistakes and I know my punctuation is out in left field (Is a comma proper here? Comma or semi-colon? Ellipsis? I tend to use ellipsis a lot. Oh! There is another one. A lot, not alot.
You all have taught me a lot, but not alot about proper grammar. Thank you!
You are quite welcome. You did not, however, close your parenthesis. Or spell "wotmania" right. *beats savagely with wet noodle*
Oh, and a semicolon is ALWAYS right.
In this case, no punctuation is really necessary between the two clauses.

Not technically, no, but in my experience that is how it tends to work in practice.
