As the other poster mentioned, it's allows you to span lines and to have
multiple statements in a single line. The semicolon is an statement
terminator. In VB, the statement terminator happens to be the end of line
(unless you have an underscore).
But primarily, it's because of its C/C++ heritage. I don't think it's a big
deal one way or the other. I do think the "for" statement would be pretty
ugly without semicolons, though.

I promise this will be my last inane question of the day - tomorrow's a
different story : )
Really wondering what the benefit is of terminating practically every line
of C# code with a semicolon (;)
Thanks,
