> Pascal, in common with most other Algol-inspired languages, uses the semicolon as a statement separator rather than a terminator (as it is in PL/I and C). As a result one must have a reasonably sophisticated notion of what a statement is to put semicolons in properly.
I wonder how the non-programmers succeed to write commas correctly, because those follow the same logic: e.g. "red, green, blue". In author's opinion, I guess it should be "red, green, blue," instead.
