I apologize OP -- I just wanted to make a point.

I'd suggest you start a new thread and cease posting on this. Let it die down.

 

Using a comma before a subordinate clause is not a comma slice. Even if you want to argue that it is grammatically incorrect, that doesn't make it a comma splice.

A comma splice is when two independent clauses are connected with a comma. Two independent clauses are supposed to be separated by a period or semicolon. In other words, a comma splice is when you use a comma without a conjunction to connect two sentences.

Nonetheless, subordinate clauses can be separated with a comma. It is usually recommended not to use a comma, but many exceptions exist. It comes down to being a stylistic choice.

Anyway, I'm done here. I won't post on this thread anymore.
