in almost all instances, a period would work just fine. you may have to structure the sentence a little differently and the thought would flow more smoothly.

Oh yeah. I learned how to properly use them in high school and they've been my best friend ever since.

I use semi colons, when I write, but I'm not sure I use them correctly. I do it cuz all the cool kids do it.

My high school English teacher told me that English professors were impressed by a person who could use semicolons correctly in writing. While I later learned that was crap, I still did it.

As a programmer, only about 1000 times a day.
But I use them in regular writing all the time too because they're awesome.
Plus, my right pinky is freakishly strong from programming. No need to let my skills go to waste!

Vonnegut clearly has never been a SoH user. There are so many times when the best way to save space is cut the conjunction & turn the comma into a semi colon. In the modern world, every character counts; punctuation is even more important than ever!
