The term 'PAUSE CAUSE' can be broken down into four parts: a semicolon (9 letters), a COMMA (5 letters), a DASH (4 letters), and a STAMMER (7 letters). A semicolon is used to separate two independent clauses in a sentence, while a COMMA is used to separate items in a list or to indicate a pause in a sentence. A DASH is used to indicate an abrupt change in thought or to set off a phrase for emphasis. Finally, a STAMMER is an interruption in speech caused by difficulty in articulating words. Together, these four terms represent a pause in speech or writing, which can be used to indicate a change in thought or to emphasize a point.
