Colon
Used primarily to call attention to words that follow it. Must be preceded by a full independent clause. Use a colon after an independent clause to direct attention to a list, an appositive, or a quotation.
Must be preceded by...
Semicolon
The semicolon is used to connect major sentence elements of equal grammatical rank. When related independent clauses appear in they are normally joined with a comma and a coordinating junction (and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet). The coordinating conjunction signals the relation between the clauses. If the clauses are closely related and the relation is clear without a conjunction, they may be linked with a semicolon instead.
The Dash
When typing, use two hyphens to form a dash --. Do not put spaces before or after the dash. Dashes are used for the following purposes:
-To set off parenthetical material that deserves emphasis
-To set off appositives that contain commas.
