I've always found commas seem appropriate, however the new version of microsoft office flags me and suggest colons and semicolons instead. I give in usually, but I'm not sure what purpose each serves.

I've been having this problem for a long time.I don't live in an English speaking,my English is good.And because of that I found that most people around me aren't that good in English,so they make mistakes .The problem is that they spell some words in a wrong way and when I spell them right,they say that I am wrong and that my pronunciation is wrong!!!Today,in university,our professor wrote the word"odour and colour" and I write in American English so I wrote "odor and color".Also they spell the word"Molisch" "Molish" .Anyways,this professor said that my spelling is wrong and there's no such thing as odor,color or Molisch and that it isn't "ketose" ,it's keto-sugar.Keto is the adjective and ketose is the noun so i see no difference.And sometimes my friends use some words that they think they mean some thing but they mean some completely different thing and I am afraid I might lose them if I try to correct them,but I can't stand them thinking that I am wrong even though I am right.
