It’s been awhile since I’ve been in school, just need a specific clarification.


This a setence I read from a person on the web. To me, it’s clearly a comma splice.

Or is there a way you could justify its correctness because I frequently see people writing like this. They just add info after info using a comma.

If it is total incorrect, like I imagine, why don’t people simply change it to a period a leave out the implied subject?


Cheers

Because write like this because (a) they are being conversational or (b) they are not taught grammar in school.
