I just saw this text on a banner-style meme:
Julian Assange is not a journalist, he's an anarchist.
Correct the comma splice. I can think of at least two ways.

READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING!
All comments are subject to approval before they are published, so they will not appear immediately. Comments should be civil, relevant, and substantive. Anonymous comments are not allowed and will be unceremoniously deleted. For more on my comments policy, please see this entry on my other blog.
AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's or Kamala's or some prominent leftie's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.
Tasty Grammar is the general site—the front door, if you will. The Superficial is the free site. The Profound is the paid site, with in-depth content and an actual curriculum. Test Central isn't a Substack site, but it's where the in-depth quizzes, tests, answers, and explanations can be found. More Substacks to come as I develop new courses and keep adding features! Check back.
Semi-colon would be my first instinct. Or an em dash.
ReplyDeleteStill, when a comrade breaks a limb out on the field of battle and all you have are commas, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
Sounds good to me!
ReplyDeleteThere should be a period after journalist or an exclamation point and then another after anarchist.
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteI guess that depends on how shouty you're feeling.
