Comma SpliceA comma splice is committed when two independent sentences are joined by a comma, such as the following (incorrect) sentence: - It is nearly half past five, we cannot reach town before dark.
The proper punctuation here is the semicolon: - It is nearly half past five; we cannot reach town before dark.
Commas are sometimes acceptable when the clauses are short and alike in form, such as - The gate swung apart, the bridge fell, the portcullis was drawn up.
(Examples from the online 1918 edition of The Elements of Style.) However, do not use a comma and a conjunction to connect independent and dependent clauses. - The ball hit George and knocked off his glasses.
Not: - The ball hit George, and knocked off his glasses.
