Semicolons are misused so much they've almost completely fallen out of common use anyway. Commas are widely accepted in places where semicolons can be.


If by "common use" you mean "common use by the section of society that can't even read at an 8th grade level," then I'd agree with you. But just because a bunch of ignoramuses use commas incorrectly, that doesn't make it right. Regardless of what the hick down the street who still thinks the Confederates won the Civil War may think, commas are NOT acceptable in place of semicolons. Commas may be widely misused, but that does not mean that their misuse is accepted. It just means that the misuse is rampant.

Also, your first statement is completely wrong. If semicolons were misused a lot, then we would see lots of semicolons all over the place. The real reason you don't see semicolons is that people are dumb fucks who don't realize that there are forms of punctuation other than the comma.
