IC. IC
IC, (fanboys) IC
f-for
a-and
n-nor
b-but
o-or
y-yet
s-so
IC; IC Sometimes "however, " is placed after the semi-colon.
Also, use a comma after an introductory dependent clause. However, when the independent clause occurs first (before the dependent clause) do not insert comma.
Example: When I missed the bus, I cried.
I cried when I missed the bus. (No comma).
