Vern, it's not that your point isn't fair. It's that it is irrelevant.
***NO ONE*** has said that semicolons, IN AND OF THEMSELVES are weird.

It's like making the point that "having two eyes isn't weird". Well,
that's true, it's not weird. But no one has asserted that having two
eyes is weird. What's weird is having one of your eyes situated on
your elbow.

RPG (and PL/I) have elbow-eyes. And it's just plain weird for those
who are used to the vast majority of eyes-only-on-the-face programming
languages.
