Hi,
Please, what is the difference between the following patterns of punctuation?
1. Semicolon + transitional expression + comma
2. Comma + transitional expression + comma
For example:The UConn women's basketball program is among the nation's best; however, they play in one of the weaker conferences.Why, there is a semicolon before "however" and a comma?
Thanks.
