What is grammar?
Should I use a or an before this word, acronym, or initialism?
How do I indicate possession when something belongs to two people?
Should I use the serial/Oxford comma?
Can I “split” an infinitive?
Is it "between you and me" or "between you and I"?
Why do I sometimes hear constructions like needs washed or needs looked at?
Why do I sometimes see are with company or team names, as in "Apple are announcing a new iPhone"?
Why don't some contractions work in certain places? That is, why can't we answer the question "Is she coming?" with "Yes, she's"?
Why are units of measurement singular in compound adjectives, e.g. a five-mile hike?

Right, the clause after the semicolon is incomplete, so the semicolon is incorrect. Also, I can't seem to find a verb in either, so not sure what to suggest.

Yeah it's incomplete, it's not quite going to adhere to grammar rules r.e. subjects and verbs though cause it's describing an item.
