Comment on Saying "over" on the radio is like the null byte at the end of a string.

  I don’t think a semicolon is semantically correct in this case. It suggest you want to add something. That’s why it is used in programming. You are making statements.

  Maybe we should use a . after return statements to signal the end of our statement stream.

    You say “over” to signal that you are done talking and it’s the other’s turn. Much like how a semi-colon is used to indicate the end of a line.
