1. It was just a suggestion. 2. I should have said "long sentence", not "run-on sentence". It's a judgment call whether a sentence should be split for readability. 3. A run-on sentence results from joining independent clauses (or sentences) without using any punctuation for the join. 4. Independent clauses joined using a comma, and without a conjunction, form a comma splice, not a run-on sentence. A semicolon should be used to join independent clauses (as you indicated), or the sentence should be split. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
