difference between commas splice and run-on sentence
* comma splice =
** independent clauses combined by a comma and without a coordinating conjunction (i.e., "I ate, I slept" v. "I ate, and I slept")
* run-on sentence =
** independent clauses combined without any punctuation (i.e., "I ate I slept" v. "I ate, and I slept")
** note that "then" is an adverb, so "I ate, then I slept" is technically incorrect
*** correct: "I ate, and then I slept" or "I ate then slept"
