Ross

I believe the answer is:

semicolon

(Other definitions for semicolon that I've seen before include "used by writers for a break" , "Punctuation mark denoting a pause in a sentence" , "Item of punctuation" , "can cut sentence" , "half a stop" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
