I get this warning in my IDE (VS Code) so I feel safe:

The character U+037e ";" could be confused with the ASCII character U+003b ";", which is more common in source code.

Well, there goes my diabolical plan, crushed like a bug under someone else's shoe. Back to the drawing board, I guess.

Would be weird to be crushed like a bug under anyone else than someone else's or simply put your own shoe.

I meant the plan not me being crushed.
