Use it well

And use it right...

Ahh 'Tis quaint though, but also slightly irritating. You see; my weak minded minions, if I may highlight an issue and bring it forth this day. What irks me is the incorrect use of old words used by people who have little clue as to how best to use them. Therefore, if you are going to use archaic words or even those considered recently outdated as opposed to a colloquial standpoint. Perhaps do a little background research. Consider how these words should be used to avoid looking like a foolish imbecile with no grey matter where it counts.

How do you use Hence in a sentence?

You see how it is spelled here?

H e n c e

" The school closed down last month; hence, the students all had to find a new school."

As you can clearly see, 'hence' in this instance comes right after the semicolon ; and is shortly followed by a comma. Ahh, but did you know that hence can also be used at the beginning of a sentence to show a definite relationship to the previous sentence?

Probably not.

(Father in law eh? Ahh well)

You know darlings, if you're having difficulty with that word there are others you can use. Which might better suit you vocabulary...

Purely because, if you're finding it so difficult to grasp such a basic thing. Perhaps a conjunctive adverb such as hence is not for you. I mean, it's not so common in everyday speech, but occurs oftentimes in prose. But don't fret darling. These other conjunctive adverbs can used if you don't understand:

However
Moreover
Therefore
Thus
Consequently
Furthermore
Unfortunately.

But please use a comma after using these. I mean come on, 'Tis hardly rocket science. It's basic comprehension here. You're not performing surgery on the cerebellum. Nor pulling off an amazing heist.

Amateurs, the lot of them...
