Colons are used in Latin and in Romance languages pretty much the same way we use them in English. (Colons caught on in English about the year 1600.) The Latin word “colon” derives from the Greek word that means “limb, member or portion.” Think about that as we go through the various uses of the colon.
By the way, plural for colon in Latin is “cola,” so you could write the name of the soft drink: Coca ::::.
Colons are used to introduce: 1) lists, 2) phrases, 3) subtitles, 4) sentences, 5) generalizations and 6) quotes. Read more

Once upon a time, a period married a colon and gave birth to a semicolon. The semicolon had some of the characteristics of a period because it usually came at the end of a clause that could stand on its own as a sentence. It had some of the characteristics of a colon because it caused the reader to slow down and nearly come to a full stop. It also resembled its uncle the comma because it gave a sense of flow to two clauses locked in a love embrace. When little Miss Semicolon grew to adulthood, she said, “I’m all about relationships.”

The function of the semicolon is in bringing two clauses together in a relationship but not necessarily specifying what the relationship is. The relationship happens in readers’ heads; that is the beauty of the semicolon. Read more
