I think my new pet-peeve is the word "clean". What you mean, when you say that, is that it looks good, according to your taste. That's a rather subjective statement, disguised as an objective one.
Yeah point taken. I guess what I mean here is that it removes ambiguity and separates logic (What the code is going to do) from display (How I like my source code laid out).
I wasn't suggesting that languages that don't have semicolons look ugly or unclean. I do a lot of assembly language but obviously there is no real issue there with semicolon/line endings, since the convention is to write a single instruction per line.
