The blogger teaches AP English? I guess they quit failing students for excessive comma splicing? Her grammar is less than stellar and indicative of a lowering of standards. If it feels good, insert a comma.

My thoughts as well. I'm defiantly not the grammar police, but an AP English teacher struggling through 10 paragraphs just to beg for more money, for more bureaucracy, for a failed education system?

At some point, people have to understand that "public education" can't fix a totally failed society model. All it can do is make education bureaucrats more comfortable in their retirement.

My students absolutely refuse to learn what comma splices are. I would wager that most people are ignorant in regards to comma splices.

I would wager that one out of ten people MIGHT know how to identify one, but not much more than that.

Okay, I’ll bite. I see some writing that could be tightened—but where exactly do you see comma splicing?
